Hello Bram, What I wanted to say is that the present behaviour is not intuitive in my opinion. Take the case of the Linux distribution with the default .vimrc After you have typed gvim file1 :sp file2 q: you get two status lines: file1 at the bottom and file2 in the middle. When you put the mouse on the status line file1, you see a vertical double-sided arrow which indicates that you can use the mouse to change the dimension of the window. And in fact it does. When you put the mouse on the status line file2, you see the same arrow so that you are tempted to do the same, but this time it does not work (for good reasons) and you select text instead. I think that will be felt to be a bug by new users (like me). Two possibilities in my opinion: 1/ When you put the mouse on status line file2, a cross appears instead of an arrow, indicating that the mouse is not active there. If the user tries to drag, nothing happens. Selection of text in the status line is forbidden in that case. 2/ If you really want to allow selection in the status line file2 (which in my opinion is not useful since it is not possible in status line file1), then it would be better to show the standard oblique one- sided arrow when you put the mouse on status line file2. Oh, you are using the command line window. That's a different thing. It appears there is a bug that forbids dragging the status line between the split windows. I'll look into that. I have another problem in the case of Windows distribution with the default _vimrc. After having typed the same commands as above, I could not find a way to copy the text selected by dragging the mouse in file1 or file2 to the command line window. Center-click does work neither CTRL-C/CTRL-V. I haven't verified the specific situation, there are a few options and mappings that may change behavior. Especially 'mousemodel' and sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim. Copying modeles selection is done with CTRL-Y, past with CTRL-R +. :help modelsss -- ### Hiroshima 45, Chernobyl 86, Windows 95 ### /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ ///sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org/// \\\help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org/// -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

I'd prefer symmetry. Though I still don't follow why both can't be resizable, I'd rather no windows be resizable than only some of them.
