I am using the gentoo distro, which has gvim 7.0.17 with some gentoo
patches applied. You did not tell, whether you tried the 'set lines=999
columns=999' twice in a row. Anyway, the plain setting does not work for
me at all in .vimrc even though it does work after some delay, after
gvim has loaded. Setting lines and columns to a large number twice
always produces the strange effects I was writing about.
Once I did, the other time I din't; in both cases I saw the strange results.
Of course the line "set lines=99999 columns=99999" is present only once in my
vimrc; /that/ doesn't give me any strange behaviour.
See also what I said (to someone on Xubuntu) in the thread "html post" which
ought to have been started inside this thread.
I forgot to attach the ":version" listing of my two versions of Vim. Here they
are:
