Details

Description:

I noticed that gvim was scrolling horrendously slowly. Downgrading to 8.005 solved the problem. I confirmed that it reappeared when upgrading back to 8.0013. Console vim does not appear to be affected. I also tried passing --noplugin to gvim, but it didn't seem to help.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Open a file with many hundred lines in gvim and quickly scroll up and down using the mouse. Downgrade to 8.0005 and try again.
This task depends upon

I noticed this commit and rebuilt with gtk2 and the problem is gone even on 8.0013. I think the issue is that vim's gtk3 gui is significantly slower than gtk2.

Would you mind to file a bug to the upstream project? https://github.com/vim/vim/issues

Until it is fixed, is it possible to revert the PKGBUILD to using gtk2? I'm building my own gvim for now because of this, but I'm sure other people are affected by this without knowing how to solve it. I verified on a coworker's box that it isn't just a quirk of my machine.

vim has been reverted to gtk2. Please track the upstream issue and once it is fixed we can try to enable gtk3 again.

The current revision uses gtk3 again even though the upstream issue has not been resolved.
