X-Git-Tag: v9.2.0208^0
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67ae763557122ad957d68e8dca2a1b12688e2572;p=thirdparty%2Fvim.git

patch 9.2.0208: MS-Windows: excessive scroll-behaviour with go+=!

Problem:  MS-Windows: excessive scroll-behaviour with go+=! after
          switching to ConPTY as default (after v9.2.0048).
Solution: Use tl_cursor_pos to determine the number of lines to scroll
          (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

Since patch 9.2.0048 (71cc1b12) made ConPTY the default on Windows 11,
running :!cmd with guioptions+=! scrolls up the entire window height
instead of only the output lines.

ConPTY damages all terminal rows on initialization even when they are
empty, which causes tl_dirty_row_end to equal Rows.  The scroll-up loop
in update_system_term() then scrolls the full screen because
(Rows - tl_toprow) < tl_dirty_row_end is always true until tl_toprow
reaches 0.

Use the cursor position instead of tl_dirty_row_end for the scroll
calculation, since it reflects where actual content has been written.

The scroll bug only occurs with ConPTY.  With winpty the terminal
finishes too quickly for the timer-based screen check to work.

closes: #19735
