dezza created an issue (vim/vim#19483)

Steps to reproduce

Build gvim with

./configure --with-features=tiny

src/vim -g

Resizing the window just a single position will jump it back into place. Not sure why tiny build affects this.

Screenshot.From.2026-02-22.15-58-39.png (view on web) ^ Right there

./configure --with-features=tiny` is not affected. ./configure --with-features=tiny` is not affected.

Expected behaviour

Starting with commandline and cursor visible.

I have reproduced this.

In my environment(Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS), the bottom half of the command line area is hidden from the start without resizing.


I did git bisect. It seems v9.1.1585 is the cause.

Hmm, I wonder how to fix this...

I'm thinking its similar to how the scroll fast patch avoid  touching the cmdline which means it will redraw fully by clearing and redrawing each time typing in cmdline with push/popgroup, which is very expensive, but not for a single line in cmdline as done here in commit.


It puzzles me why its not affecting normal/huge, but only tiny.
