for i in range(0, 2000)
end for

can be interrupted by a resize event and start running other code - and
you don't have a chance to prevent it. The only way to fix it is
rewriting all the gui code - which neovim is likely to be doing.

Vim for everything even though I know that some pieces should be
improved.
