Hi all, A bug has been reported to Launchpad (quite a while back in fact) at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/137854 and also to Debian at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379612 but there doesn't appear to have been anything done with it, therefore I would like to request that a developer would look at this problem directly if possible. Sorry to email you all directly, but I hope it pushes it through enough that it can be looked at :)
Description: gvim does not correctly resize the window when the first tab is opened, part of the window becomes hidden behind task panel, thus hiding the :ex command and status area making it necessary to manually resize the window again. Recreate: 1) launch gvim 2) expand the window to full size 3) :tabnew test.txt Result: The tab is created properly, but the bottom of the window is forced downward, proportionately to the height of the tab, and behind the task panel of the Gnome desktop. Expected result: gvim should have have shrunk the editing area, not resized the window. Note: This affects all versions from 7.1 up to the most recent version in a stable Ubuntu: 7.2.330 Kind regards, Roy Jamison -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
