Hello, I'm an Arch Linux user, experiencing a strange bug that's not reported by anyone else on the Arch Forums.
On upgrading gvim to gvim-7.4.2143-1-x86_64, I experienced intermittent lag when navigating up/down (i.e. k/j keys). The lag itself would last for about a second (it's as if gvim just pauses for a second as soon as the k/j key is depressed), and I could not predict when it would happen, but frequency was about once every ten seconds during a typical session. I did not experience any lag when using vim instead of gvim, nor when I ran a vanilla gvim session with "gvim -u NONE". Also, I tried downgrading to the previous version of vim in Arch (gvim-7.4.1910) and confirmed that the lag is not present in this previous version. So, I tested my vimrc and managed to find one line that, when present, is the source of the lag: set showcmd I have a decently-sized vimrc, but until I encountered this problem, both vim and gvim have always run at light speed on my system. I run vim within (and launch gvim from) urxvt, and I'm using i3wm. I scanned through your bug reports and it looks like I might be an anomaly, but let me know if you are at all interested in any further info. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
