I tried reproducing this by creating a 38 line file via “seq 38 > foo.txt” and then following your steps by running “vim --clean foo.txt”. I saw no errors. What are the dimensions of your terminal when you do this? “:set columns? lines?” from Vim will show this. Can you reproduce it with the file I mentioned, or is it more specific to the contents you had? Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
