> May somebody reproduce the above behaviour? Yes, my gvim 7.2.411 does it. I use 'showmode' and 'showcmd' and the last line should display something like -- (insert) VISUAL -- 8 (where the 8 is the selected word's length) and this displays fleetingly but it is overwritten by blanks with the old file written message at the top of the command-line's lines. I see it for various settings of cmdheight (I tried 1, 2, 4) and using the menu or <ctrl-o>:w to save the file. It is necessary to be in insert mode when saving and switching tabs. showmode and showcmd need not be on.
