Freeze when exiting a taglist window
I am using the taglist plugin. I've found a strange issue: when I open a taglist window—with :TlistOpen—and then try closing the whole MacVim window without closing the taglist window separately with :TlistClose, MacVim freezes.
More investigation shows that this apparently innocent line in taglist.vim caused the freeze (commenting it out eliminates the problem):
let &columns= &columns - (g:Tlist_WinWidth + 1)
It looks like bug in MacVim. There is no such problem in, say, gVim for Windows.
I am currently using macvim stable 8.0-134 (bottled) from Homebrew.
I can still reproduce this issue with the latest Homebrew build, version 8.1.1517 (156).
No, not in a terminal.
One more important thing: I have just discovered that it happens in the GUI only when I check "Use Core Text Renderer". After unchecking it, the problem goes away.
BTW, it's a quite strange, as I use NERDTree without a problem. Probably it's caused by using outdated features, as this plugin wasn't updated since ... 2013 and Vim changed quite a bit.
I'll investigate how to install it on plugin managers era and will play around
Still, it is a strange thing that changing &columns about the time of an exit will cause a freeze. Even though taglist is old, what it does seems innocent to me…
Thanks for recommending tagbar. I'll take a look.
I've just tried tagbar. It looks impressive, but it does not change the window width (as taglist does). So there is no way it can trigger a bug like this.
(If I turn off the window width change with let Tlist_Inc_Winwidth=0, taglist will not trigger this bug either.)
Wow! Thank you for an additional discovery to narrow down the reason where bug is triggered!
If there is a way to freeze MacVim this definitely needs to be fixed. Tagging to the next milestone.
Documentation in code says about this variable below.
" Increase Vim window width to display vertically split taglist window.
" For MS-Windows version of Vim running in a MS-DOS window, this must be
" set to 0 otherwise the system may hang due to a Vim limitation.
if !exists('Tlist_Inc_Winwidth')
if (has('win16') || has('win95')) && !has('gui_running')
let Tlist_Inc_Winwidth = 0
else
let Tlist_Inc_Winwidth = 1
endif
endif
@ychin This actually do the following:
let &columns= &columns - (g:Tlist_WinWidth + 1)
@eirnym Did you turn on "Use Core Text Renderer"? It is triggered only when the Core Text Renderer is used.
yes, I have only "quick start" turned off (see my defaults below) . I've executed the line with various values manually and tried this plugin as well. I use a binary build from GitHub, not from Homebrew.
PS: I've attached this plugin by putting it into new local git repo and used Vim-Plug to import it. I don't remember how to put such plugins in "old way". It'll be helpful to investigate further if you share your configuration which produces the freeze. A copy of my .vim folder is public (you need to start vim 2 times to attach all plugins)

The build (Homebrew) caused the difference? I do not see other significant differences. My OS is High Sierra, BTW.
I did this to test:
cd ~
mv .vimrc .vimrc_bak
mkdir .vim
cp -pr .vim_bak/pack/my/start/taglist/* .vim/
Lauching mvim after doing this, I can still reproduce the problem.
I still can't reproduce. I have to install Homebrew and try the version from it.
