ok, did some heavy testing today - it turns out it's not a plugin, it
was merely one line, an important one, in my .gvimrc file:

set gfn=Monospace\ 9

if this is set, and I use the same window size (in pixels, not vim
lines) then the redraw issue occurs.

using quickfix seems to "provoke" the issue, but I can't be sure it's
really the cause.

Any ideas?

thanks!
