Set working in file but not in .vimrc

Question

When I put set scroll=10 in my .vimrc it does not work, but it does work when I enter the command in command mode.

I have many other commands in my .vimrc , what reason could there be for this set to not be getting through? It is the last line in my .vimrc .

Answer 1

:verbose set scroll?

should tell you which plugin script has last modified that option. If you don't find the culprit this way, you could workaround by setting it at the last possible moment by putting this in your ~/.vimrc

:autocmd VimEnter * set scroll=10
