Perhaps a window resize event makes Vim recompute some things and then it works again? Just guessing. If some option gets a wrong value, such as 'lines' or 'columns', that would cause display errors. You could do the following: redir > /tmp/settings_1 set! all redir END Do this when everything works OK and later when things are wrong, using a different file name. Then compare the output and try to spot the difference. If you see an option with a suspect value, you can possibly find out where it was set with e.g.: :verbose set lines? -- >From "know your smileys": 8<}} Glasses, big nose, beard /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// \\\ \\\ sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
