Re: Vim on Debian Mint Linux

    "Does it do PDFs as on Windows?"

If you mean, edit the PDF as a text file, leaving the encoded elements as is, the response is yes.

For any Debian-based system, the method to install is to open a shell in a terminal and enter the command,

• sudo apt-get install vim-gtk3 (vim-gui-common)

Or look for the vim-gtk3 package from within Synaptic, and install that way.

Re: Bug in popup maxwidth?

Excellent! Thank you. 

Sorry I missed your last message asking for a sample. Something came up that took all my time.

Hi,

Thanks, those numbers were enough to reproduce it here.

It happens when 'wrap' is off and the popup is so close to the right
edge that the space left of it is smaller than "maxwidth".  On a 120
column screen:

    call popup_create([repeat('x', 93)],
                \ #{line: 3, col: 80, maxwidth: 50, wrap: 0, border: []})

The popup is shifted left to fit the text on the screen, and that shift
raises the width limit itself.  Patch 9.2.0247 already guarded against
this, but only for 'wrap' being on.

Fix: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/20883

Hello,

I am on GVim 9.2, patch 541, on Windows 11.

If I set opacity in a popup to anything but 100, my font settings aren't observed. For example, my 'InfoBorder' (used for borderhighlight) is set to:

InfoBorder     xxx guibg=#6f4246 font=Consolas:h9

If the opacity is either unspecified or explicitly set to 100, the font is observed. Any actual opacity and the font is ignored and goes to the regular font used throughout.

Thank you.

Re: Bug in popup maxwidth?

Hi, 

I get all that. The problem is that popup_getoptions says that maxwidth and minwidth are both 50 and popup_getpos says core_width is 93 and width is 99. I can confirm that the popup on-screen is, indeed, very wide. 

Hmm, I can't reproduce the issue.

Could you please paste the script you actually verified?
