Public bug reported:
This used to work in jammy, but is broken since I upgraded (actually,
reinstalled) to noble.
System info:
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Default GNOME desktop
vim-gtk3 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu7.8
nvidia-driver-550
Steps to reproduce:
* in Settings / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts / Windows, define a
shortcut for “Maximize window vertically” (I use Super+Up)
* launch gvim from a terminal
* maximize gvim's window vertically using the previously defined
shortcut
* with the mouse, grab a vertical edge of the window and try to
manually resize it horizontally
Expected behavior:
The window can be resized, just like any other window.
What happens instead:
While the left mouse button is held down, the window is completely
maximized. There is a small rounded overlay that presumably shows the
current window size (like when resizing a terminal). This overlay jumps
around very fast, left to right, which makes it illegible. When the
mouse button is released, gvim's window settles to a width that is
seemingly random, but always larger than what the mouse position
implies. Repeating the operation gives a different width.
Work around:
* do not maximize the window vertically
* alternatively: resize by typing “set columns=...”
