I originally posted this on vim_use, but have had no responses. I have since discovered other cases which result in the same behaviour.
Vim 7.2. Included patches: 1-266 Win XP SP3 This has been reproduced using: gvim -N -u NONE -U NONE --noplugin test.txt I have a laptop and a monitor. I use the Windows feature which allows me to "extend" my screen to the other monitor. I have been doing this for some time and I always have my extended monitor to the "right" side of my laptop (which is the main screen, it has the taskbar). Anyway, I just moved my extended screen so that it is above my existing monitor instead of to the right of it. Now I have noticed a strange behaviour. If I move Vim to be in the extended monitor above my laptop, then I have these values: :echo getwinposx() getwinposy() -15 -1183 If I run this command: :split My current window is split horizontally. Everything is good. But, if I run this command: :vertical split Then my Vim snaps back into my laptop screen and splits vertically. :echo getwinposx() getwinposy() 0 0 So, I don't see any reason why adding the "vertical" keyword should change the behaviour. Of course, I don't want it to do this either since toggling the Taglist plugin does a vertical split so this has become a real pain in the butt. Since my original post to vim_use, I have also noticed the same thing happen when I run this map: n <C-Up> * :silent! let &guifont = substitute(&guifont, ':h\zs\d\+', '\=eval(submatch(0)+1)', '')<CR> This is like Firefox, if I hit CTRL-UP, I increase the fontsize inside Vim. Again useful when switching between two different sized / resolution monitors. Changing the guifont, has the same result as :vertical, it causes Vim to shift back to the original monitor. I have work around for all these issues with other maps to change the location back again, but this appears to be a bug. Can anyone else confirm?
