I encountered similar issue. I guess for console vim, the variable 'columns' (and also 'lines') is only meant for reporting rather than setting because vim itself cannot change the geometry of the terminal emulator. Moreover, even the terminal emulator or gvim cannot change its geometry at will because that is to be controlled by window manager. Consequently I did not set those variables inside vimrc again. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
