Re: When selecting text the cursor jumps in a weird way

This is just a theory based on what I understand your symptoms to be.

Check the settings and their meanings of scrolloff and scrolljump, and where they are/were set.

:verbose set scrolloff?
:verbose set scrolljump?

Then interpret their meanings as they apply to your conditions.
:he scrolloff
and
:he scrolljump

I don't know exactly how to describe my problem.

I have started gvim and loaded a file.

The cursor goes to line 215 and the  last visible lines in the gvim
window are line numbers 215 and 216.

Now I type V, and go down to select lines of text.

Very quickly, the buffer gets redisplayed in a way that now lines 219
and 220 are at the beginning of the gvim window which is weird as lines
215-218 are no longer visible. This is very irritating.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
