I traced back Vim versions and 8.0.1737 works fine. So, a temporal fix in Ubuntu is to hold the packages to that version. But, I am afraid later someone else will find this issue as well.

It should be fixed, please update spacevim.

@wsdjeg: the issue is back with vim 8.0.1802, as @fanchunke1991 mentioned it.

A workaround is set nocompatible in line 15 of config/main.vim file.
