Inconsistent highlighting and search between R and RMD (using .) about vim-r-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

I can't reproduce the bug. When I press * over my.var it's highlighted as a whole, as expected. Could you please try again with the following simple vimrc:

set nocompatible
syntax enable
filetype plugin on
filetype indent on
set hlsearch

from vim-r-plugin.

Still the same behaviour. Did I mention this must be in an r-chunk in an .Rmd file?

If it is of any help, although I suspect not, I run VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled May 4 2012 04:22:36) on Ubuntu precise.

Also tried to remove all other vim plugins with the same effect for RMD files. The plugin version I'm using is: 0.9.9.2. Updated today but had the same behaviour in the previous version I had from mid last year.

I still cannot reproduce the bug. The Vim variable that controls the affected behavior is 'iskeyword'. Perhaps you have this variable set somewhere. If not, we have to wait until somebody finds what's causing the bug. Here, the output of

:set iskeyword?

is

iskeyword=@,48-57,_,.

Note the dot at as the last keyword element.

Thanks, that helped me track down the issue. Turns out it was a line in my .vimrc: "syntax on". If I set the iskeyword for rmd files before this it was reset. If I set the iskeyword after the "syntax on" line it worked as expected.
Again thanks for the help.
