Christian, Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I don't have gvim installed (I could never get the hang of using it). I tried in iTerm, which had a similar issue as Alacritty (lines slightly shorter, but still lots of visual space between the lines of the E325 ATTENTION message). But Terminal.app didn't have the same problem. So I thought,"Aha! It's different termcaps causing the issue!" In Terminal.app TERM is defaulting to xterm-256color, whereas in iTerm it was set to screen-256color, and in Alacritty I use tmux heavily so it was set to tmux-256color.
Unless you can think of a better way to solve this, I can just set up an alias for vim='TERM=xterm-256color vim' and that will be a sufficient workaround for my purposes. When I executed `TERM=xterm-256color vim` manually it fixed the problem.
