I noticed that :redraw works differently from Ctrl-L in certain situations:
1) vim -u NONE
:set laststatus=2 statusline ruler
:help help " get some text
2) Let's cause some screen mispaininting, so we can test :redraw:
:silent! !echo aaa " cause mispainted screen (this is ok)
3) :redraw " ???? does not repaint anything
:redraw
:redraw
" nope, does not repaint
4) Ctrl-L "finally, works
Is it bug or feature, that :redraw does not repaint screen at step 3 ?
Yakov
works for me in the GUI: I don't see any change in the display after
":silent! !echo aaa".
I'm using gvim 7.0.101, huge build with GTK2-GNOME GUI, running on SuSE
Linux 7.3.
Using the same build in console mode in a konsole window, ":silent!
!echo aaa" makes the whole help text disappear, ":redraw", entered
manually, doesn't make it reappear, ^L does.
Still with the same build but on the "non-X" linux text display,
":silent! !echo aaa" changes 'lines' from 47 to 64, making the bottom
lines and the command-line disappear at the bottom of the screen. The
help text doesn't disappear and I see a flicker which seems to indicate
a spontaneous redraw. ":redraw" and ^L both repeat the flicker, but only
":set lines=47" brings my command-line area back into view.
Best regards,
Tony.
