If I start gvim from a console the window appears without its last line, hiding the status line, and I need to resize the gvim window for them to appear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gvim from a console (terminator or ptyxis) Actual Results: Missing lines at the bottom of the window. Expected Results: Status line is visible. Additional Information: It seems to be related to my dual screen setup on my laptop: the problem seems to appear only if the terminal is on the internal screen, but not on the external one (gvim appears wherever it wants). The issue already appeared already a few months ago, but it really starts to annoy me. Gnome, Wayland, vim-X11-9.1.1818-1.fc42.x86_64 Internal screen: 1920x1200 (scale 125%) External screen: 3440x1440 (scale 100%)

Hi Eric, thank you for reporting the issue! I was able to reproduce the issue with my internal laptop screen with different resolution (1920x1080), but with scale > 100%, so it looks to be connected more to scaling. I'll see if I can find out upstream reproducer.
For now I can reproduce the issue with upstream code and current runtime files this way: 1. have laptop screen with display scaling > 100% # GTK3 used for graphics on Gnome Wayland 2. ./configure --datadir=/usr/share --with-features=Huge --enable-gui=yes && make && sudo make install # open compiled Vim with graphics from terminal window at laptop screen with scaling > 100% 3. ./src/vim -g -u NONE -U NONE -N -i NONE I will check whether clean Vim project installation (upstream code, upstream runtime files) is affected as well.
Thanks for taking care. I noticed two new things which might help debugging: 1. the status bar disappears again if I move the GVim window between screens (direction doesn't matter, internal to external or vice-versa) 2. it also disappears if I make the window "stick" to the side or vertically maximize the window (middle mouse click on the maximize icon) 3. maximizing the window doesn't make it lose its status bar _but_ returning to normal size does The two last points happen only on the external screen.
I think I have the same problem. Have two monitors with resolution higher than Full HD, one Full HD monitor. Scaling set to 125%.
Is this issue reported already at upstream github? I have not found it in https://github.com/vim/vim/issues, but perhaps I do not use correct keywords. Can Zdenek help with it? What is correct term for vim command line at the bottom, which is not rendered?
My version: vim-X11-9.1.1999-1.fc43.x86_64
