Vim configuration where issue is reproducable

If I download MacVim.app it seems to work fine, but not the commandline version

Issue has been tested with given configuration

• by running MacVim.app from GUI macOS interface
• by running vim/gvim/etc installed by MacVim
• by running other versions of vim (e.g. /usr/bin/vim)

Issue has been tested with no configuration

• by running mvim --clean (or gvim, supplied by MacVim distribution)
• by running vim --clean (in terminal, supplied by MacVim distribution)
• by running vim --clean (in terminal, other suppliers, e.g. /usr/bin/vim)

Other conditions

• The both Homebrew packages "vim" and "macvim" are installed

Thank you for an issue

Could you confirm that

1. we're speaking about that the latest build is 174 on the GitHub, it's the same as yours? (numbers should be similar somewhere in info or formulae)
2. There's none of plugins is involved (please run with no configuration as shown above)

[RichardDooling]

I just noticed that the version of Xcode I installed 2 days ago says it is for Ventura 13.1 and I have 13.01, so let me upgrade and see if that fixes it. If I run gvim --clean, I get what looks like Vim without the gui. I can't open the gui to look at the build number. I'm not a programmer, just a writer and heavy MacVim user for 20 years. This never happened before :)

[RichardDooling]

Nope. Still crashes. Brew doctor says "ready to brew" I have a feeling its a Homebrew problem. I will try to build from source later today. I've never done that but maybe it's time to learn. Thank you.

[eirnym]

Thank you for your investigation and additional details

[RichardDooling]

If I download MacVim.app from https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases/download/release-174/MacVim.dmg and use mvim instead of gvim it works fine. Something amiss with Brew methinks.

[fahasch]

What happens if you put set guioptions-=e in the configuration file .gvimrc? It might be related to the issue 1333.

[RichardDooling]

Yep, that fixes it. But the tabline is so ugly I think I'll just keep using the .dmg version until the other gets fixed. Thank you.

[fahasch]

As an alternative, you could also execute brew install --HEAD macvim to compile the latest version where the issue has been fixed.

[RichardDooling]

That works too.. Thank you very much.

has an error when using --HEAD to build

$ brew install --HEAD macvim

Hmm, i'm not 100% sure. You could build from scratch by cloning the GitHub repo, but an easier way is that I'm prepping a release right now and typing up the release notes and doing some final checks. If you don't mind waiting a few days it should make its way to Homebrew once I make the release.

[ychin]

I just pushed a new release. Feel free to grab it. If you are using Homebrew still, they should get updated to the new release soon. Let me know if it's still crashing.

[ychin]

I'm closing for now. If it's for some reason still crashing we can reopen this.

[RichardDooling]

I will test this as soon as it appears via Homebrew. Thank you so much. Rick Dooling
