I think it is a bug :) The behavior of "vimdiff -u NONE -c 'set diffopt-=filler' -c $ a b" is inconsistent depending on the height of the terminal. Running that command in a terminal that has, say, 41 rows will not show the problem. WIth a terminal that can only fit 15 lines the problem appears. I came across this behavior when I wanted to diff the members of each column of a database table arranged vertically so that I can easily spot the difference between a column member of one row with the corresponding column member of another row - hence the diffopt-=filler as I want vim to not show the filler lines at all as it makes no sense to have filler lines present in this case. The two sample files (a and b) contains two different rows of a database table - they each has the same number of columns (hence the same number of lines). My $work laptop didn't have enough screen lines to hide the problem for me when showing the diff using the original data hence the bug report :) nazri -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
