I made a snyde comment about how Windows handles gvim's change in window size but I think I hastily jumped on the Windows bashing bandwagon. In truth, if the gvim window changes size, perhaps there is no rational way to handle it. Maybe this problem can be avoided if gvim doesn't change its windows size upon execution of the above commands. (Not meant as a criticism, but rather, as an observation of how the problem might be avoided).

Adding or removing a tabpage shouldn't change the size of Vim… unless it
also causes the tab bar to appear or disappear. Setting 'showtabline' to
2 (not the default) will make the tab bar remain always present, even
when there is only one tab. You might then customize 'tabline' (for a
text-style tabline: in Console mode or with go-=e) or 'guitablabel' (in
GUI mode with go+=e) to display more than the default. I display "a:b/c
filename.ext" where a, b and c are numbers, meaning "Tab #a: window b of
c" and are displayed in colour.

Adding or removing a scrollbar (not only the bottom one, but also the
left and/or right ones) will increase the size of Vim in that directokin
by the width of the scrollbar. This is intentional in order to keep the
number of 'lines' and 'columns' constant for the text. To avoid that,
you may want to always display all three scrollbars, menubar and toolbar:

set go-=b go -=l go-=r go -=L go-=R go-=m go-=T go+=blrTm

but it isn't really pretty. Or you could :set wrap and never use the
bottom scrollbar. The paired vertical scrollbars are useful when there
is a vertical split but otherwise not so much, so normally I use rL (as
part og gimrLtc). This, however, will slightly modify the width of gvim
when adding or removing a vertical split (unless of course it is
Maximized but that isn't what you want).


Best regards,
Tony.
