Hello there, The plugin Powerline [1] uses special characters which extend above the actual height of the statusline, and this sometimes leads to display corruption when scrolling/moving text in GVim (see [2] and [3]).
The same bug can be observed when editing a buffer containing these same characters (e.g. "│"). A partial workaround is to "set ttyscroll=0", though this still sometimes leaves stray pixels, in the case of Powerline especially above/below the statusline. Is this maybe a bug in the GVim font handling code, since for example MacVim seems to handle these characters fine? I'm using GVim on Debian with NVidia display drivers. Steps to reproduce: - open GVim with vimrc and plugins disabled: "gvim -u NONE" - enter a line of "│" characters - insert a blank line before it with "O" - there should now be a line of pixels before the first line (see [4]) - minimizing the window or running ":redraw!" clears the pixels Cheers, Markus [1] https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline [2] https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/issues/57 [3] https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/issues/53 [4] http://i.imgur.com/6uCpu.png Package: vim-gnome Version: 2:7.3.363-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vim-gnome depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.51-5 ii libbonoboui2-0 2.24.3-1 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6 ii libgnome2-0 2.32.1-2 ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.5-2 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-3 ii libice6 2:1.0.7-2 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.4-12 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libperl5.14 5.14.2-6 ii libpython2.7 2.7.2-13 ii libruby1.8 1.8.7.352-2 -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
