Re: Problem with redraw

Thanks a lot for the reply. This was *very* methodical solution, something that I'll remember for vim, and mostly likely apply elsewhere as well. "Give a man a fish.. teach a man.."

vim -u NONE worked. So, I removed all my plugins to see if I can replicate it. I couldn't. And then I put the plugins back and I still couldn't replicate the issue. Seems like just the act of removing all the plugins and putting them back fixed the issue.

No idea why -- but some ideas on what to do to find out what's going on:

* use:  vim -u NONE     This way of starting avoids all your plugins and
your .vimrc (if any).  Still have the problem?
* if no, move all your plugins somewhere that vim won't see them.  Still
have the problem?
* if no, then you likely have a  plugin issue.  Move half your plugins
back  and repeat until you locate the problem-causing plugin.
* if vim -u NONE worked but moving all the plugins out did not fix
things, perhaps your .vimrc may have a setting issue.  Try commenting
out your settings until you find a culprit.
* if vim -u NONE did not work,  then it seems likely to me that you have
a terminal-vim issue.  Presumably the problem would not in that case
appear when you use gvim rather than vim. Look into your termcap or
terminfo database, whichever is appropriate.  Try xterm; vim works well
with it. If your vim is working well with xterm, but not with your usual
terminal interface, then you need to check out the various terminal
parameters (or switch terminal emulators, of course).
