(When I disable the work-around of course...). I am using vim 7.3 (downloaded from here<ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2>compiled with --with-x) my ~/.vimrc<http://github.com/theosp/osp-dist/tree/master/sys-root/home/theosp/.vimrc>and ~/.vim<http://github.com/theosp/osp-dist/tree/master/sys-root/home/theosp/.vim>dir. I've encountered this issue when I've used the fugitive<http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive>plugin (a plugin for git). The plugin adds the command :Gstatus that opens a preview window. The thing is that in my vim that preview window height was only 4 lines, even after I've explicitly set previewheight=50 in my .vimrc . So each time I had to resize it by hand (Ctrl-w 20+) So to workaround this (annoying unproductive) problem - I did what I've posted to SO (I am theosp) .
