Public bug reported: If gvim is opened not maximized, it simply hangs without showing any content of the file (or the standard content ~s for new file). However, if it is maximized, it works. Again if gvim is unmaximized, it freezes the window content. I tried with removing .vimrc file and .vim directory. Same behavior persists. I tried with removing .gnome2/Vim file and calling /usr/bin/gvim -f. But same problem.
However, I think it may not be a problem in Gvim because the same frozen window behavior happens for emacs. However, this problem is not there with gedit. I did not know how to file bug with the window management software, so i invoked "ubuntu-bug vim" from command window.
