The big question is: HOW did you resize the window? Resizing manually
fixes the problem, thus you didn't resize it the normal way, right?

The idea is that you start Vim with "--clean" and then add pieces of
your setup until you find out what piece matters for reproducing the
problem. Hopefully not including a whole plugin, since then we would
need to dig into that plugin.
