Eclipse with vrapper doesn't recognize file changes

I have a file open in Eclipse. I make some changes (new lines, type some stuff), and it never indicates the file has been changed (with the * on the file tab). So I ctrl+s to save, close the file, re-open it, and my changes are not there.

Context

Eclipse Build Details
  • Eclipse Platform
  • Version: 2020-06 (4.16)
  • Build id: X20200903-1448
  • OS: Linux, v.5.8.11-200.fc32.x86_64, x86_64 / gtk 3.24.23, WebKit 2.28.4
  • Java version: 11.0.8
Other
  • Vrapper (VIM) extension
  • PHP project
  • Happens in multiple projects
  • Only happens in PHP files

Reproduce

  1. Double click a file to open. Starts in Normal Mode (VIM)
  2. go to a line & press O to create a new line
  3. Type echo "zeeb"; exit;

Now, there should be an asterisk next to my filename on the file tab, but there isn't.
At this point, if I click with the mouse & select some text, the asterisk will appear most of the time. Then I can save. Or, if I go back into normal mode, the asterisk appears

What I've tried

  • Project -> Clean
  • Project -> uncheck 'Build Automatically' (same behavior either way)
  • Closing all Eclipse windows & re-opening just one window
  • Disabling vrapper <- this works! But I need my vim.
Solution

  • Adding :set noatomicinsert to ~/.vrapperrc seems to have fixed it.

    Vrapper Settings states:

    Whether inserts should be handled as atomic operation. This causes problems sometimes, so it is deactivatable.
