For some odd reason, when I am staring gVim on my Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS laptop using the Unity desktop, it starts to low when I am asking it to take all the vertical space available. It starts at position y=53 while it should start at y=24, just below the desktop's menu bar (it is 29 pixels too low). The length of the window is fine and well within the screen height once I move it at its proper place.
It is the only application that shows this behavior. All the other applications start at a proper height, just under the menu bar. This suggest that this has something to do with gVim. It used to work properly in 14.04. I cannot recall exactly when this started. Not sure if that problem occurred as soon as I upgraded to 16.04 or if it happened later. Following, the .vimrc used for reproducing the problem: winpos 0 0 set lines=999 " 999 = take all the vertical space. winpos 0 0 " Window position report at this point: X 0, Y 53 This occurs with the latest code found in the git repository, as of 2017-02-14 04:27:56 EST.
