Hi, I'm using Tumbleweed on RPi 4 and the gvim package is pretty hopeless. Not sure if this is related to the platform I'm running, or if it's just buggy. If any OpenSuse developers are reading this, please take note of the following:

1. The only gvim available in Tumbleweed repo is the one with Gtk3. The Gtk3 GUI is painfully jerky/laggy when scrolling lines of text. Debian for example, have Gtk2 and Gtk3 versions of gvim. Could someone please do the same for OpenSuse.

2. There is a really annoying bug with OpenSuse gvim. When I split the window vertically, there is no scroll bar visible on the right window, the left window has a correct scroll bar. This looks like a GUI bug of some sort, but it has been like this for quite some time now. Does anyone use gvim on Tubleweed and can confirm the same issue?

I'm running TW on a 4GB rpi4 w/ around a dozen autoload plugins. It's headless, so I use SUSE's built-in VNC setup to get an XFCE desktop that I leave running so I can connect on-demand when I need it. I wouldn't call gvim hopeless, feels snappy enough to me to certainly be usable. I generally use vim in kitty, but I have a general-purpose ~/.gvimrc I've reconfigured just now and nothing feels out of the ordinary w/ it. If I open a :vsplit, I see an initial scrollbar on the left. If I open another file on the right side - it doesn't have a scrollbar of any sort even though "Global Settings => Toggle Right Scrollbar" is 'on'. Seems to have something to do w/ :guioptions, which defaults to "=aegimrLtT" ; if I do something like "set guioptions=aegimrtT" it's a bit more intuitive when switching between windows with the mouse in that it changes size depending on the window that's present. -- ~ Scott Bradnick |- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Developer |-- Tumbleweed: |--- Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- Dell Precision 5540 (NVIDIA Quadro T1000) https://keys.openpgp.org/ :: DBC5AA9A2D2BAEBC
