Problem: Redraw problem when sign icons in the number column.
Solution: Clear and redraw when changing related options. Right aligh the
sign icon in the GUI. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#4578)
Problem: Popup windows are ignored when dealing with mouse position
Solution: Find the mouse position inside a popup window. Allow for modeless
selection.
Problem: Using "int" for alloc() often results in compiler warnings.
Solution: Use "size_t" and remove type casts. Remove alloc_check(), Vim
only works with 32 bit ints anyway.
Problem: Cannot recover from a swap file.
Solution: Do not expand environment variables in the swap file name.
Do not check the extension when we already know a file is a swap
file. (Ken Takata, closes 4415, closes#4369)
Problem: Setting 'guifont' when maximized resizes the Vim window. When
'guioptions' contains "k" gvim may open with a tiny window.
Solution: Avoid un-maximizing when setting 'guifont'. (Yee Cheng Chin,
closes#3808)
Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3932)
Problem: Cannot have a local value for 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff'.
(Gary Holloway)
Solution: Make 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff' global-local. (mostly by
Aron Widforss, closes#3539)
Problem: GUI may wait too long before dealing with messages. Returning
early may cause a mapping to time out.
Solution: Use the waiting loop from Unix also for the GUI.
(closes#3817, closes#3824)
Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.
Problem: MS-Windows: no resize to fit parent when using --windowid.
Solution: Pass FALSE for "mustset" in gui_set_shellsize(). (Agorgianitis
Loukas, closes#3616)
Problem: GUI: find/replace dialog does not handle some chars properly.
Solution: Escape '?' when needed. Always escape backslash. (closes#2418,
closes#2435)
Problem: Lose contact with jobs when :gui forks.
Solution: Don't fork when there is a running job. Make log message for a
died job clearer. Also close the terminal when stderr and stdout
are the same FD.
Problem: Cannot build Win32 GUI without IME. (John Marriott)
Solution: Adjust when IME_WITHOUT_XIM and HAVE_INPUT_METHOD are defined and
use it in a few more places.
Problem: Endless loop when gui_mch_stop_blink() is called while blink_state
is BLINK_OFF. (zdohnal)
Solution: Avoid calling gui_update_cursor() recursively.
Problem: Slow redrawing with DirectX.
Solution: Avoid calling gui_mch_flush() unnecessarily, especially when
updating the cursor. (Ken Takata, closes#2560)
Problem: Duplicated code for getting a typed character. CursorHold is
called too often in the GUI. (lilydjwg)
Solution: Refactor code to move code up from mch_inchar(). Don't fire
CursorHold if feedkeys() was used. (closes#2451)
Problem: balloon_show() only works in terminal when compiled with the GUI.
Solution: Add FEAT_BEVAL_GUI and refactor to move common code out of the GUI
specific file.
Problem: Cannot use 'balloonexpr' in a terminal.
Solution: Add 'balloonevalterm' and add code to handle mouse movements in a
terminal. Initial implementation for Unix with GUI.
