>From that picture, it appears that there is not quite enough room for another row or column of text. Vim creates the largest text area it can given the selected font size, frames the result with a title bar, menu bar and scroll bar, and the result is what you see. Vim can't make use of the left-over space, so it lets you see a little more of your desktop. Note that the Windows maximizes windows differently that Unix (actually the X Window System) does. When Windows maximizes a window, it changes the structure of the window, removing borders and locking the window position. When Unix maximizes a window, it simply makes the window size the largest that will fit on the desktop--it does not alter the window structure or lock its position. What you are observing is a feature. Regards, Gary -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
