Interesting. Is this true, even with the progress bar on the top
window as in the latest version? If it is on the bottom, the screen
clears again for a redraw immediately after the bottom status line is
drawn, making it very hard to see the progress bar...which is why I
put it on the top.
I see from :help :redrawstatus,
Useful to update the status line(s) when 'statusline'
includes an item that doesn't cause automatic
updating.
But we're setting the statusline to a new (static) value...surely the
statusline is redrawn when 'statusline' is set to something new?
If we leave the progress bar on the top window (which I like...any
disagreements?) we need to find the appropriate place to put
the :redrawstatus command, so that we redraw the correct window's
status line. I don't think it's a great idea to use redrawstatus!,
although a "normal" use case is probably just the two windows, so
maybe it's not that much more expensive?
I toyed with the idea of only updating the 'statusline' option and
calling :redrawstatus if the progress bar has changed position in a
visible way, but on my system (Windows XP, gvim 7.2.437) this wasn't
needed.
On an unrelated note...should we continue this on vim_use, vim_dev, or
both? I original posted to both groups so that I could potentially get
more comments, but now it seems we're deep in developer mode.
