I've just upgraded to a new laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 and installed Vim 7.4 1-1952.

I installed most of my plugins when I noticed that 80% of the time when I press F11 to go fullscreen, Vim doesn't "update"/redraw unless I press a button or click on the screen. Here's a photo of what happens when I press F11:

I've tried disabling my plugins to see if one of them might be the issue. I realized that this only happens when I have some sort of syntactic-checker enabled such as YouCompleteMe or syntastic.

Again, the issue resolves itself immediately once I press any button but I can't figure out what could be causing it. I don't have the same problem anywhere else aside from Vim.

EDIT: This only occurs with Full Screen, Pressing CTRL + ALT + Numpad in order to maximize the window works just fine.
EDIT2: This also seems to occur with neovim

    Vim has an event loop. It doesn't redraw asynchronously when it receives a SIGWINCH.

  • Did you tried :redraw or pressed ctrl+L?

I've fixed it in a very peculiar way, and have no idea how you'd figure this out.

In Ubuntu, go to

  • System Settngs
  • Appearance
  • Behaviour and then
  • Show the menus for a window
  • check In the window's title bar .

The problem seems to be fixed now, but I'm guessing it's still a bug in vim or some plugin.

    I don't think so. This sounds like a bug with the terminal or your shell. Have you tried using a different terminal?

  • I tried using terminator and got the same results. I should note that apparently vim-airline makes the bug appear again.
