Thank you Tony, I appreciate your time giving me all those details. I will try a couple more things (I might have misused set go+=/set go-=). But with my original settings, and others I tried (including left and right scroll bars) , I can always see the diff, but *not* initially: I have to click and scroll, and that's too much intervention, too easy to forget. Background: I have been using gvim as my diff viewer for tortoise svn. It works great, except that recently I committed unwanted changes (at the top of a file) because I forgot to click on the correct window and scroll. The diff initially displays like there is no line added at the top of the file (and I did not expect any either). I would like vim to automatically scroll to the "highest" of the 2 files (either by code change, auto command, script, whatever...). I was really happy about using gvim -d file1 file2 +"windo 0" but it only works when file1 has more lines (or maybe the reverse, I forgot). I want a reliable way to start my diff. I'm fairly sure this can be explained with the current mechanisms in vim, but it does not give me the behavior that I would like. I'll try looking at which vim functions are available and see if this could be done with a script (focus on the windows where the first added block is and scroll to the top of that window?).
