** Description changed: I use the following command to load vi(m) in a new gnome-terminal window with altered geometry: gnome-terminal --geometry 156x48+80+50 -e "/usr/bin/vi .bashrc" About 60% of the time, when I do this, it loads the text within vim as follows: - 1. The top line of text seems to be the next line after the line of text that would have been displayed had I started vim in the default sized gnome-terminal window + 1. The top line of text seems to be the next line after the line of text that would have been displayed as the last line had I started vim in the default sized gnome-terminal window 2. After what seems to be the text normally displayed below that offset, after what seems to be the number of lines displayed as if it were in a default sized gnome-terminal window, the remaining lines are blank 3. The only way to correct the display is to scroll down until a full screen of text is normally displayed in vi(m), then everything starts working normally Note that this behavior happens only around 60-70% of the time - sometimes, issuing the command will work correctly, sometimes as described above. It is very repeatable though on my machine. This behavior happens on my native Ubuntu 14.04 box as well as on my 14.04.1 box within a virtual machine under Windows 8.1 (both for hyper-v and vmware) The reason I think it may be vim, not gnome-terminal, is that nano, irssi and the man pages all work fine every time when I issue the same command but substitute them inside the quotes above.
