So no, not the same issue. Please open a new issue with your actual symptoms.

Happy to merge, but was this actually breaking helptags on Windows? Surprised this is the first I've heard of it.

I just booted up my Windows VM and verified it does indeed generate tags on it. Were you getting an error, or just silent failure? You do _not_ have `'shellslash'`...

`'shellslash'` is mainly used with setups like Cygwin. I don't have it set either (but it can be relevant so I thought I'd ask). I was looking for an error...

Obvious perhaps, but completely untrue. `:echo isdirectory('C:/Windows')` returns 1 (true). `:e ~/_vimrc` correctly edits the file. The only reason I bother with backslashes at all is so `'runtimepath'` isn't an...

Confused why adding it manually wouldn't work. Can you try without Obsession?

@jmcaffee, that solution causes every single directory inside every single bundle to be added, surely not what you had in mind. As a first step, can you post the output...

I don't think there's a limit on length, just `:set` output length. Try `:echo &runtimepath` rather than `:set runtimepath?` That's a weird mixture of `\` and `/` in your runtimepath,...

Then what did you mean by a "limit on the length of the runtimepath"?
