After upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, gvim no longer is readable. Both the default version that Ubuntu installs (version 8.2.4919) and the lastest released version of gvim (version 9.0.1677)

It comes up with a black background, no readable menus a splattering of stuff in the middle of the window and some icons at the top.

Now I'm running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox VM. But this use to work just fine.

Advice ??

  • "Advice ??" Yes, open an issue in Vim's issue tracker, ideally with a minimal reproducible example based on $ gvim --clean.
