Hi list and Bram.
Continue from reported problem: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_dev/G9KD895VTxw/ch5R5nqDBQAJ Problem: After 7.4.851, on Windows7, when using vim.exe with msys or msys2, conhost.exe (console window provider on Windows7) will freeze or crash. It can be reproduced by this like basic commands. :r!cat somefile.txt ("cat" should be part of msys or msys2) When executing this, vim looks like freeeze or crash. I don't know the root cause of this, but I have discovered that those host (conhost.exe) freezes or crashes when execute a program of msys or msys2 from vim, under the condition of vim's own screen buffer is active, Solution: Make original screen buffer active, before executing external program on Windows 7. And when the program is finished, revert to vim's one. Patch: https://gist.github.com/koron/4cabff43767bca269792 -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
