[Bug 886450] Re: Gvim hangs with blank window if not maximized

[David Paul]

I have this problem too, but discovered it's only an issue with
particular gtk themes in my .gtkrc-2.0 file. The only themes I've found
which exhibit this problem are "New Wave" and "New Wave Dark Menus".
Other themes all appear to work fine. I can provide any files from the
theme you think would help.

Title:
  Gvim hangs with blank window if not maximized

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If gvim is opened not maximized, it simply hangs without showing any
  content of the file (or the standard content ~s for new file).
  However, if it is maximized, it works. Again if gvim is unmaximized,
  it freezes the window content. I tried with removing .vimrc file and
  .vim directory. Same behavior persists. I tried with removing
  .gnome2/Vim file and calling /usr/bin/gvim -f. But same problem.

  However, I think it may not be a problem in Gvim because the same
  frozen window behavior happens for emacs. However, this problem is not
  there with gedit.

  I did not know how to file bug with the window management software, so
  i invoked "ubuntu-bug vim" from command window.
