When using :vsplit my gvim window jumps to a specific screen location. How do I stop this from happening?
Same thing happens when the second to last split is closed.
I'm using gvim on Windows.

This happens because when vertical splitting the window, vim needs to add a vertical scrollbar, which causes vim to recalculate the visual size and eventually makes vim jump to a different screen location. The current workaround is to :set guioptions-=r guioptions-=L
Update
As of patch 8.0.1278, you can also use :set guioptions+=k to prevent Vim from resizing, see also the documentation at :help 'go-k'

2Thank you, works great!
guioptions-=Lseems to be enough for me, I might not have covered all cases though. For anyone wondering:set guioptions-=rremoves the right hand side scrollbar andguioptions-=Lremoves the left one, which appears when using:vsplit. – user3122718 Feb 3 '16 at 14:33
