Try starting vim without config, I think that’s

vim -u NONE

Does it still occur then?

If not, it’s a config issue in /etc/vimrc and/or ~/.vimrc (or maybe ~/.config/vim/vimrc or something?)

If it does, it had to be something else.

I actually wanted to link this song by Perturbator, but this was a happy little accident (^^,)

It absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

That definitely sounds like a good idea and not ominous at all…
