Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013. The bug description implies that this isn't a vim bug as emacs is also affected and and comment #16 implies the issue is theme related. As almost 12 years have passed without any comment I'll close this as 'Invalid'. ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886450 Title: Gvim hangs with blank window if not maximized Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: If gvim is opened not maximized, it simply hangs without showing any content of the file (or the standard content ~s for new file). However, if it is maximized, it works. Again if gvim is unmaximized, it freezes the window content. I tried with removing .vimrc file and .vim directory. Same behavior persists. I tried with removing .gnome2/Vim file and calling /usr/bin/gvim -f. But same problem. However, I think it may not be a problem in Gvim because the same frozen window behavior happens for emacs. However, this problem is not there with gedit. I did not know how to file bug with the window management software, so i invoked "ubuntu-bug vim" from command window.
