Re: Vim redraw issue in Xubuntu 13.10 (running inside VMWare Workstation 10)

Hello friends,

Did you ever resolve your display issue? I've been having similar issues with text not rendering when scrolling and on opening new windows on Lubuntu 13.10 with LXDE on VMware Player 6.0.1. I tried compiling from source checked out at tag v7-3-367, based on Ken's comments below about reverting patch patch 7.3.638, and that appears to have fixed it for me.

Thanks,
Mike.
