I'm running GVim 7.3 on an XP machine. I have this problem where Vim quickly flashes a bright background color whenever I split or close Vim's windows. It doesn't seem to be related to any plugins, I can recreate the behavior without any plugins installed.
Here's two snapshots: http://i.imgur.com/8yokX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/er0TD.jpg My system specs: Athlon II X4, Quad Core @ 2.6 Ghz 3 Gb, 800Mhz DDR2 Ram GeForce 9600GT, 512Mb It almost looks like Vim is redrawing the background one character space at a time (I'm not familiar with how Vim does its window drawing), but first it's painting the background in a light color before drawing the dark color again. If I hold my key which toggles between opening/closing another Vim window, I can see the white area flashing from the top to the bottom (it looks exactly like a video footage of a CRT monitor, where you can clearly see how the monitor is refreshing the screen). It also looks like splitting the window vertically reproduces this behavior every time, but splitting it horizontally the flickering happens less often. Has anyone had this behavior while using Vim? Perhaps it's a driver issue, although I haven't been able to recreate this behavior in other applications. -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/Background-flashes-when-splitting-windows-tp3317109p3317109.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
