bug with multi-monitor setup on Ubuntu 25.10

Hi I have a bug affecting GVim on Ubuntu 25.10 

When I open or move a GVim window to my secondary monitor it locks up and becomes unresponsive from the tabbar down, the menu's still seem to work but it is hard to tell as nothing happens bellow, also it stays like that if I move it to my main monitor, were I otherwise do not experience this problem, so my GVim usage is imprisoned to my main/primary monitor, very annoying, not sure if this is the correct email list for bug reports, long time Vim/GVim user but I don't think I ever had to report one before, testament to Vim's general awesomeness!

Let me try that.

It does so if you do :let $var=..., see :h :let-$

Re: Q&A: MSDOS SET command gave me some of my mapped commands

No - I do not want to get rid of the commands. They are a part of my VIM Script when I edit a PHP file. After trying several things for a few hours all I can say is - is that for some reason, when I execute the PHP - these three commands just include themselves. Unknow why. Oh well, I'll just make sure to remove them from whatever information I get from doing an EXEC() command. I was mainly wondering if VIM makes temporary Windows variables.

So it seems you did define those in your environment, not inside vim.
Check Environment settings for your Windows operating system.

What exactly did you try? You should either use `:unlet $map_h` but this
will only unset those variables inside your Vim session, or using
set map_h=
in a cmd.com terminal window to remove it temporarily inside your
cmd.exe session.

Re: Sorting large numbers

Oh awesome.

Could you please tag @igbanam in the bug, so I see what's changing?

Thanks!

Hi all,

It's the time of the year when I use Vimscript to do what it was not designed for: AdventOfCode.

For today's problem, I notice that `:h sort()`, with a Funcref, breaks for large numbers — "breaks" here means that it does not keep to contract in the docs, not that it throws an exception. Since it's not really an exception, I don't think I can file it as a bug… so I'm bringing it here. Maybe someone can help me catch what I'm doing wrong.

In Vimscript…

:echo [(229539777187355, 229539777187355), (487766135067138, 491977135306566), (188325333471071, 188931909913550), (264028451845520, 265514296554744), (245727634348687, 249469249579525), (375117820166731, 378942174241518), (535474757750378, 535849288071548)]->sort({a, b -> a[0] - b[0]})

yields

This is the same list because I got it from runtime working on the larger list.

Looking closely, I noticed that the third range is smaller than the first range. This got me thinking about things like overflow. But I checked and `v:numbermax == 9223372036854775807` which is bigger than all the numbers here.

This same operation in Python and Ruby yield the same results different from Vimscript's

…both yield

[(188325333471071, 188931909913550), (229539777187355, 229539777187355), (245727634348687, 249469249579525), (264028451845520, 265514296554744), (375117820166731, 378942174241518), (487766135067138, 491977135306566), (535474757750378, 535849288071548)]
