Hide Forgot
mousehide has been broken for a while (at least since F12). When in insert mode, the mouse is invisible when over the gvim window. This is expected. What is unexpected is that when the mouse moves, it should become visible again. This is according to the vim documentation for "set mousehide". Workaround is to add "set nomousehide" to your .gvimrc file. This bug is also in ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/616858 Installed vim packages: [jdyoung@quickstep ~]$ rpm -qa | grep vim vim-filesystem-7.3.056-1.fc14.x86_64 vim-common-7.3.056-1.fc14.x86_64 vim-minimal-7.3.056-1.fc14.x86_64 vim-X11-7.3.056-1.fc14.x86_64 vim-enhanced-7.3.056-1.fc14.x86_64
