I still see it flash, even with gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE. However,
today for some reason it flashes much faster, and I don't see the cmd
window actually appear on the screen...I only see the flash in my task
bar. It's mainly noticeable because I have two rows of tasks showing,
and adding the extra cmd window re-arranges the items briefly.
I get about the same results (visually) from:
:call system('chcp')
:!start /min cmd /c chcp (actually this cmd windows disappears a little faster)
But no window at all (as expected) from:
:!start /b cmd /c chcp (but as noted this method is not usable)
This is only a minor annoyance in terms of functionality...but I'd
really like to know why it happens and whether there's a workaround.
