screen messed up after :make command on vim, and start crash.

[cacheflood]

Screen gets messed up after make command from vim. Dunno is this due tilix or vim?
. Screen get fixed after the mess if I move cursor etc.

ver: 1.6.4
Fedora 27: Linux xxxxxxxxx 4.13.15-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 21 21:10:22 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also crashed sometimes when starting (when crashing,every second time starts ok, every second crashed imho)

How reproducible is the display corruption (the � signs)?

Could you please try the same steps in xterm (at approximately the same window size, measured in characters)? Is it reproducible there?

[cacheflood]

xterm works. This is reproducible. I'm using UTF-8 so it's variable length and I have special chars to show tabs. could the problem be that some routine assumes chars to be aligned by 2?

[cacheflood]

This also happens when just starting vim with filename... and is annoying, happens all the time...
Removed the special tab char from vim settings, no help. But... tried also nano/less/highlight and some others, no mess... so... could this really be issue on... vim o_O ?(!)

[egmontkob]

Could you please test if disabling overlay scrollbar (Preferences -> Appearance; then restart Tilix) fixes this issue?

If not then could you test the behavior in gnome-terminal?

[cacheflood]

Disabling overlay scrollbar seems to help!!!! Tried on different window sizes and repeated many times.

I'm curious... is it thread issue or just old school 'bug'? (thinking thread issue just because random appearance even start condition is same...)

[egmontkob]

Okay it's yet another phenomenon caused by #1122 then.

See also vim/vim#424.

Ok, so... kind of "thread" problem... ty 👍

@egmontkob Is there a VTE bug already on the overlay scrollbar, should I open an issue summarizing the different issues with it?

[egmontkob]

The picture is not clear to me. There's a bug I guess about GtkScrolledWindow, and overlay scrollbar is probably related to that, but not clear to me how exactly (if at all). I can't recall a bug about overlay scrollbar in particular.

As for overlay scrollbar, the only issue seems to me that it causes VTE to frequently change its size back and forth. The rest (top, vim etc. misbehavior) are just symptoms of this. It's unclear to me why an overlay scrollbar would change the widget's width, rather than, well, overlay.

If you think VTE does anything incorrectly (rather than this being a generic bug/misdesign in Gtk+ and overlay scrollbar) then yup I think filing a bugreport is a good idea. At least we might get precious feedback from the project's main developer who's more knowledgeable in this area.

#1367 related issue to overlay scrollbars.

I have updated the FAQ with a note about the overlay scrollbars.
