When 'wrap' is on, lines longer than the screen width are displayed on
several screen lines. If one of these "long" lines starts near the
bottom of the window, near the status line, it might be too long to be
displayed in full. In that case, there are two possibilities:
- By default, that partial line is omitted, and the space where it would
have been at the bottom of the window is filled up by one or more screen
lines with just a @ in column 1 and nothing else.
- If 'display' includes "lastline", Vim shows as much of that partial
line as fits the screen, and it tells you that part of the line is
missing by showing @@@ at bottom right
In either case, if you move the cursor onto the partial line, the text
scrolls up so that
- the (new) current line is displayed in full
- the top "screen line" of the window is at the start of a "file line".
Of course, none of the above applies if the current line alone is too
big for the window. In that case, regardless of the 'display' setting,
you see the part of the line around the cursor and there may be some
overflow both above and below the window, depending on how far the
cursor is along that "very long line".
See
:help 'wrap'
:help 'display'
and most especially
:help window-contents
which discusses the above, as well as the "tilde" lines which you hate
so much.
Best regards,
Tony.
