It doesn't *ignore* that fact, it just can't possibly catch and handle the case where the terminal doesn't support it. Vim can't ask the terminal what size it is, so if the terminal decides not to resize itself, vim can't know any better. ~Matt -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
