Hi everybody,
Can somebody explain the following behaviour to me. In my .vimrc I put
the following:
" ------START ----------
function ResizeEvent()
let &lines = &lines - 1
execute '!echo "resizing "'.&lines . ' >> test.txt'
endfunction
autocmd VimResized * call ResizeEvent()
" -------- END -----------
Now for every resize event, I get 4 lines in test.txt. The result is
that I end up with 'lines' being decreased 4 times, instead of just
once.
Thanks
Marius
Strange: normally autocommands don't nest, which would mean that using ":let
&lines = &lines - 1" (or ":set lines-=1") inside an autocommand (for
VimResized) shouldn't trigger VimResized again.
I confirm this strange behaviour: after sourcing a script containing
function ResizeEvent()
set lines-=1
redir >> ~/resize.log
silent echo "lines:" &lines
redir END
endfunction
au! VimResized * call ResizeEvent()
then invoking (once) ":call ResizeEvent()" at the gvim command-line, I get the
following in ~/resize.log (which previously didn't exist):
<quote>
lines: 35
lines: 34
lines: 33
lines: 33
lines: 32

Which OS and Vim version (and patchlevel) are you using? I'm using openSUSE
Linux 10.2 and the output of ":version" starts as follows:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Mar 8 2007 18:29:45)
