What is the status of this? Has anyone else been able to reproduce this. It's really making using vim a pain in the butt. I have no idea what happened but gvim seems to have magically fixed itself as of today. Looking back at yum.log, I really don't see anything directly related to gVim changing. With all of the recent xorg (especially intel) changes in rawhide recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this was bug was simply a rendering error. Apparently, the problem is not fixed but instead contingent on the window being maximized. Whenever the gVim is in a non-maximized state the cursor works as expected. When maximized, however, it disappears when there is a vertical window. Hi Ben, I just installed vim-X11-7.2.025-1.fc10.i386 but I can't recreate your problem. Are you still having trouble? Yes, I'm still experiencing the issue intermittently with vim-X11.x86_64-2:7.2.025-1.fc10. Try the following, - Open gVim - Maximize the window - Press Ctrl-W, N - Press Ctrl-W, V At this point, you should find that the cursor has disappeared. Unmaximizing and remaximizing the window should restore the cursor. (In reply to comment #5) > Yes, I'm still experiencing the issue intermittently with > vim-X11.x86_64-2:7.2.025-1.fc10.

Unmaximizing > and remaximizing the window should restore the cursor. Still no problems for me. My cursor is fine when I maximize the window. As soon as I press Ctrl-W my cursor disappears but when I move the mouse it reappears. The same applies for when I press Ctrl-W, N or V, it comes back as soon as I move the mouse. Perhaps just a problem in 64-bit? I can reproduce this bug with maximising window. When window is not maximised, cursors do *not* disappear. Also, cursor do *not* disappear If I manually change window size after starting gvim. I'm on x86_64. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I can reproduce this as well. After googling I also found this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58308 vim-X11-7.2.025-2.fc10.x86_64 I can confirm on vim-X11-7.2.060-1.fc10.i386 Resizing the window appears to cause the cursor to return. I'm also experiencing weird cursor issues with vim-X11-7.2.060-1.fc10.x86_64. Open any 2 files with gvim -O file1 file2 and the cursor is invisible. It becomes visible again after the gvim window is resized. The problem only happens with vertical split. Horizontal split is fine. Same problem here with vim-X11-7.2.060-1.fc10.x86_64. If I open a terminal window in gnome and maximize it and then do gvim -O a b, gvim opens with invisible cursor. If I keep the teminal window small enough, gvim also opens in a smaller window and cursor is visible then. It's kind of weird. To make cursor visible I have to resize the gvim window. It's really annoying, since I have a 19020x1200 resolution and use vertical split a lot. Thanks, Vax. vim-7.2.148-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vim-7.2.148-1.fc10 vim-7.2.148-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository.

This bug is still happening on Fedora 12 This bug is now happening in Fedora 16. $ rpm -qa | grep vim vim-X11-7.3.315-1.fc16.i686 vim-minimal-7.3.315-1.fc16.i686 vim-filesystem-7.3.315-1.fc16.i686 vim-enhanced-7.3.315-1.fc16.i686 vim-common-7.3.315-1.fc16.i686 I can reproduce the bug with the steps pointed at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461417#c5 - Open gVim - Maximize the window - Press Ctrl-W, N - Press Ctrl-W, V At this point, you should find that the cursor has disappeared.
