Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim
Just discovered this one in the past few weeks.
My typical usage pattern with vim is to have a gnome-terminal window
open and issue 'gvim filename' at the shell. (I'm using vim-gnome.)
Now, when I do this, I get a gvim window with an invisible cursor, and
if I scroll down in the document, blank space.
A workaround is to press Ctrl-Z, which minimizes gvim, then Alt-Tab back
over to it. The cursor then appears and all text is drawn correctly for
the rest of the session.
If I use Alt-F2 to launch gvim from Run Application, or if I select it
from the GNOME menu, there is no problem.
I do not need to use a filename argument to reproduce the problem.
Simply issuing 'gvim' at the shell is sufficient.
In case my .vimrc is useful, it contains:
filetype plugin indent on
set modeline
set gfn=Liberation\ Mono\ 10
au GUIEnter * set lines=50 columns=80
however, it has not changed since January 10—probably even before that;
that's just its mod time.
