Re: BUG: terminal vim 9.0.1506 x64 window 10

I have used VI on Unix for over 30 years and now have to use it in Windows where it works much differently.  If I open gVim 9.0 in a GUI session, how do I open another file without having to go to the top with my mouse and select File, Open?  At the command level I can just :vi "filename", but I've been having issues working with VI at the command level - maybe be because it didn't like that I made the window larger as people have just mentioned.

Hopefully a simple question for you experts!

I was having trouble w/ the console version of vim 9 in windows terminal and cmd.exe as well as take command.

I also posted on the forum for JPSoft's take command.

I got a response there that was helpful.  Interesting, none of the responses here were helpful.

I learned there that vim is known to dislike non-standard terminal sizes. 

So I made the terminal windows smaller and it started to work.

I'm following up w/ my last post, to say that it's been fixed by making the terminal window size smaller.  This fixed the same issue whether it was cmd.exe, windows terminal, or TakeCommand.

I was having trouble in ALL of the windows terminal programs.  The same solution worked for all of them.

That is hardly correct. I haven't heard from many complaints about using
Vim terminal in neither Windows nor Linux.

I guess, if those were Vim issues, they would have been reported (or at
least linked) to Vims issues. So that doesn't necessarily prove
anything.


Best,
