Hi all :) Yes, I know, my Vim version is a bit outdated, but from what I've seen in the README's of the patches for 7.1 and 7.2, this bug has not been addressed (and maybe it is not a bug at all). I'm asking here and not in vim_dev just in case it's my fault and not a bug in Vim. If nobody can reproduce I'll build a Vim myself with latest patches and retest.
The bug happens with and without my rc files, I've tested both, and seems to depend on using the "-o" option with just one file. If "-o" is used and console vim is opened in a terminal emulator (I've tested with gnome-terminal and xcfe4-terminal) with a geometry where the lines are *LESS* than the number of lines in the opened file, then the screen is not correctly redrawn, even when scrolling. The screen appears as if the number of lines was 24. In this case, a screen capture is worth thousand messages: http://www.dervishd.net/vim-bad.png If the file is short enough, this doesn't happen: http://www.dervishd.net/vim-good.png To reproduce, run "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x30 -x vim -o file.txt", where "file.txt" is a file with more than 30 lines. I haven't found the exact number of excess lines that causes the bug, so better try with a file of more than 100 lines so you can scroll, because the screen is correctly redrawn again if you scroll to the end of file, not using "G", but using PgDn repeteadly. The bug doesn't happen if the "-o" option is not used. Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... RAmen!
