With the behavior changing based on $TERM, the possibility of a

does using either ":redraw" or ":redraw!" also refresh
dthe isplay correctly?
No, neither of the commands does.
Which backs the idea that something is wrong with the termcap,
that even as it redraws, it's using the improper escape settings.
So when you mentioned changing the font manifest the
behavior, that was your terminal font, not 'guifont' in
gvim, right?
Yes, I'm talking about the terminal font. As I said gvim
is not affected.
I just wanted to make sure--the resizing-fixes aspect hinted that
it might be (though not absolutely) gvim related. Terminals can
send a WINCH signal which tells the application the window size
changed, so the path Vim takes when processing this signal could
also be at issue.
Hmm… good question. My .Xresources file says:
Rxvt.font: xft:Mono:pixelsize=13
Was that for the good font or the bad font? And is it only
dependent on the font-name, or does it behave if you just change
the font size?
Also, what is $TERM set to...both within Vim and outside
Vim? Does the problem persist if you start vim with
something like
outside vim: TERM=rxvt-unicode
inside vim: TERM=xterm-256color
I also changed TERM to xterm-256color, without success.
bash$ TERM=dummy vim file.txt
to force a bogus termcap entry?
Yes, this helps. I did a few tests and it works fine.
I thank you a lot for your creative thoughts. As I
mentioned, setting the TERM to “dummy” helps. But I have
no idea why. Is this the solution of just a workaround
that doesn't trigger the weird behaviour?
Just to add to the pool of data, what does the output of :version
have to say about "builtin_terms", "terminfo" and "termresponse"
(and note there's a difference between "+" and "++" for some of
those settings). It might also helpful to know the settings for
various term-related settings:
:set ttybuiltin? term? tenc?
