Hi!

I started gvim from a terminal. There are no error messages from the terminal. There are also no error messages in .xsession-errors.

Before testing gvim I had accidentally logged in into plasma. So I created a guest account to see whether logging into plasma had caused the problem. Even in the guest account gvim has this odd behavior.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you start gvim from a terminal and pos the output? There might me a clue. You may also start another terminal and run "tail -f ~/.xsession-errors", then start gvim and observe if there are any clues comming up.

Hi!

I have installed openSUSE 15.4 with the current version of Trinity. It works nicely, thanks! However, gvim has a strange behavior. If I open gvim in LXDE it opens in a normal window and I can resize it like any other window. However in TDE, gvim opens in a at first regularly sized window but then it shrinks itself in width. If I try to enlarge it it freezes and looks like this:

http://artemide.bioeng.washington.edu/Install_openSUSE15.4-trinity/20230808_...

To make it "unfreeze" I have to move it a bit, then it is responsive and I can type. I do not have this problem for example with firefox, which is also based on gtk-3. Is there any specific gtk-3 setting that I need to change to make gvim work properly?

Thanks!

  Gianluca

Just tried gvim (vim-gtk3) and it works as expected.

And you have openSUSE 15.4?

I was able to find some information here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13251522/why-does-gvim-resize-and-reposi...

Using "set guioptions" I can change what gvim displays. If I remove the menu wiht

:set guioptions-=m

then the problem disappears. However, I no longer have a menu. Is anybody familiar with gvim and could please help me change the menu so that I can still resize it without the freesing issue? For example, below the menu there is a horizontal line. Is there a command to remove it?

Thanks!

Ciao Gianluca, There is a problem with xfce terminal resizing in similar manner, so maybe (maybe?) it is related. Can you share your gvim config files if you don't mind?

Ciao Michele,

Thanks for replying. I do not have a .gvimrc file setup. So it uses all system defaults. I started gvim with the verbose option:

gvim -V

I attach here the log. Please, let me know whether you can read it. I can send you any files that the log shows being loaded.

Thanks!

Gianluca

Cheers Michele

Ciao Gianluca, I am able to reproduce the issue with basic gvim in debian. It may be the same issue with xfce terminal, at least it seems quite similar. I suggest you file an issue report on TGW for this (under tdebase), so we can track it over time. I have that xfce bug on my TODO list, so if it is the same issue then we may be able to fix two bugs at once :-)

Cheers Michele

I am not Michele, but I allow myself to answer this.

Register here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/explore/repos

Find the package and under Issues file a bug report.
