Vim does not return to the same file when exiting an external command

I am trying to compile my tex file inside vim. I have a Makefile to compile and I just type :make

to call it. This usually works well, but sometimes vim doesn't come back to the .tex file where I called make. Instead, I find myself in a .cls file after pressing "ENTER or type command to continue".

Wondering what's going on? And how do I get it to work as I expected - revert to the original file? Thank.

It looks like Vim has caught some bugs in your code and is trying to be helpful by jumping to the appropriate file and line. As per :help make

you can avoid this by using :make!

(note the exclamation mark):



If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to.

You can also invoke :make

and open the file with the first error and then return to the original file by typing Ctrl o.

There is one more question that may be related: How to disable "Press ENTER or enter command to continue" prompt in Vim?

I am using this config:

map <F10> :w<CR>:!make<CR><CR>

Pressing F10 normally saves the tex file to me and calls make and returns editing the file.
