I haven't looked at the patch, but I'm not sure it will work. If you
check the right end of your titlebar, you'll see that ":set lines=9999
columns=9999" almost maximizes the Vim screen, but not quite. There are
two possible workarounds:
- Click the Maximize button or the Maximize menuitem to "really"
maximize the window; or
- Use a "text-like" tab bar by means of
:set go-=e
:set tabline=<something>
You may want to set 'tabline' to a user-written function, see ":help
setting-tabline".
Best regards,
Tony.
