Vim and MacVim configuration where issue is reproducable

No response

How was MacVim launched?

  • by launching MacVim.app in macOS (by using the Dock, Spotlight, or the open command)
  • by running mvim/gvim in the terminal

Issue has been tested with clean configuration

  • by running mvim --clean (or gvim, supplied by MacVim distribution). You can also use the File → "New Clean Window" menu item within MacVim.
  • by running vim --clean (in terminal, supplied by MacVim distribution)
  • by running vim --clean (in terminal, other suppliers, e.g. /usr/bin/vim)
