Depends on what you are really using, my vim is the alias of vi, and the 
"user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc", not .virc


$ which vi
/usr/bin/vi

$ type vi
vi is aliased to `vim'

$ vi --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Feb 13 2022 22:15:51)
...
    system vimrc file: "/etc/vimrc"
      user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
  2nd user vimrc file: "~/.vim/vimrc"
       user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
        defaults file: "$VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim"
...

My guess is that one of those files have changed things up.

Also I think vim detects that it was called with an alias, and may 
behave differently.
