Hi all, This is probably one of the most minor problems I've ever had with vim, but I thought I'd report it in case anyone understands what's going on here.
I've just (finally) decided to upgrade to Vim 8. I initially installed the Windows executable version from https://vim.sourceforge.io/download.php#pc but found it didn't support python, so have compiled my own version. When I start gvim, I often want to immediately maximise the window and have tended to do this with a simple mapping ("map ,x :simalt ~x<CR>") - start gvim and hit ,x - this is pretty instinctive now! I know there are probably other alternatives, but I like the default being non-maximised and a quick key combination changing to maximised. With the newly compiled version of vim (details below), `:simalt ~x` doesn't do quite what I was expecting: the window gets bigger but the drawn area doesn't - https://snag.gy/3VfqUe.jpg Pressing Ctrl-L sorts it out, it's just slightly odd that it's not redrawing to fill the screen. Clicking on the maximise icon in the top right hand corner of the window works correctly - it's just simalt ~x that doesn't. Note that this was all tested with -u NONE -U NONE. With the current executable from the website (8.0.69), the behaviour is correct. I know this is a really minor gripe; I just thought it was worth mentioning. The compiler configuration I use is made up of two scripts, configure_vim.cmd (http://pastebin.com/QwKtCHvy) and build_vim.cmd (http://pastebin.com/apxqsz6f).
