I have quite a number of windows (22 of them, but the symptom ought to be reproducible with fewer), all horizontally split (i.e. one above the other) and I have the following possibly relevant settings:
winheight=99999 winminheight=0 cmdheight=2 cmdwinheight=7 The latter is the default but the others aren't. The result of the first two is that the current window opens to full-size, reducing the others to zero height ("Rolodex Vim"). When I hit q: q/ or q? in the bottom window, a 7-line command-line window opens, all per spec. However, when I hit q: q/ or q? in a window which is not at the bottom, a much larger command-line window opens, reducing all other windows to zero height. In fact I prefer this behaviour, so I'm going to set 'cmdwinheight' to a large value in my vimrc, but since it is "not per spec", other people may prefer the opposite.
