BUG: Cursor disappears when I split the window in GVIM.

[mind entropy]

Hi,

  When I split the window my cursor disappears. The cursor is still functional but has just disappeared. This is tested because when I scroll I can see the brace match happening. This is usually triggered when I get NerdTree window and after I close it the cursor disappears. The only way to fix this now is just minimize and maximize the window and the cursor reappears. I am using it in fluxbox under ubuntu 12.10. My VIM version is 7.3.547

Thanks,
Gautam.

Do you mean the text cursor (at the intersection of 'cursorline' and
'cursorcolumn' if you use them) or the mouse pointer? It is a known
feature that gvim hides the mouse pointer whenever you haven't used the
mouse for a certain time.

If the former, ":set cuc cul" (without the quotes) might help by giving
you "crosshairs" on the cursor location. If the latter, just move the
mouse and its pointer will reappear.


Best regards,
Tony.

Hi mind!

What happens if you press ctrl-l or type :redraw (with and without the !
attribute)?

 Its the text cursor. I am not using the cursorline and cursorcolumn feature. The text cursor is the rectangle.

 I just want the plain old cursor.

 Nothing happens. Only after I resize the screen i.e I click the box on the top right of the window and then hit it again to maximize will the cursor appear.
