Hi,
By "default background color" do you mean the default ST color? I tried
that already. I tried the default config.def.h colors and also set ST's
background to the same color as VIM's background.
Please see attached gifs for a more pronounced example - here vim is busy
running and the resize somehow picked up the color of the status bar
(purple) in this case. In the xterm version, you can see the redraw just
paints the new space with default black background which is much less
jarring. I'm trying to see where in ST's code is picking up this background
color that seems to be random part of the original screen. I suspect some
clearing /resetting is missing before the redraw.
Thanks,
Kai
