Hi Tony,
Thank you very much for your answer, the conditional setting of the
lines totally solves the issue.
I was aware of Vim reading the .vimrc file and I never expected Vim to
resize
my terminal window because of those options. I was expecting, on the
other
side, that that line was considered only in the GUI case. The fact
that those
lines are read and cause a weird behaviour should be avoided, since
weird
behaviours are always undesirable. But, anyway,
since that simple solution is available, this is not a great issue.
Thanks again,
Leandro.
