Check "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to
the edge of the screen"
To resize the gvim screen from the keyboard you can set the 'lines'
and/or 'columns' options. But I don't know how it interacts with your
"docking". (My screen is 1024x768 and, on this Linux system, I keep
windows apart by means of virtual desktops, something which does not
exist on MS-Windows AFAIK.)
Note: gvim will normally not let its screen exceed what is available on
your monitor; if necessary it will adjust 'lines' and/or 'columns'
downwards. This can also happen when you set a larger 'guifont'.
See
:help 'lines'
:help 'columns'
:help 'guifont'
Best regards,
Tony.
