Hi, I was doing the following finally which is fixing my issue. I have checked which package contains the /etc/vimrc file and I have delted all the /etc/vimrc* files, after that I have reinstalled the vim-common package and it has solved my problem. Without spending too much time on the investigation, i guess when I upgraded to 7.3 the old vimrc just did not get replaced and it might have been causing this issue.
Thank for the support.
