Plus, I like the defaults and +the fact there's a lot of active development on extensions. I didn't +use it for a long time because I *needed* NerdTree but every time I'd +scroll the window, I'd get a mess. + +## The Problem + + + +Now, yes, I know I'm a heretic for using the arrow keys and not just +jumping around, but I thought it was weird I didn't see this issue +anywhere else. Also, vim doesn't have this problem. + + + +It's also not because of my meme tmux setup, the same issue happens in +terminator, which I happened to have installed. + + + +## The Attempt + +There's a better way to do this, but I first figured just triggering +a redraw on scroll would do the trick. You can do so by adding the +following line to your init.vim file: + +```vimscript +au WinScrolled * redraw! +``` + +As it turns out, the "WinScrolled" event *only* exists in neovim, so +this command won't work in plain vim (see `:help autocmd-events` for the +list of events in each program). + +## The Actual Solution + +After installing COC and running a healthcheck, I realized that my +TERM variable was set to 'xterm'. I'm not sure if I did that +intentionally to run something or if it's just a legacy thing I left in +from Debian's default bashrc, but all I had to do was change it: + +```bash +export TERM='tmux256-color' +``` + + + +No more hacky autocommands! + +If I had the foresight to test the issue in xterm first, I probably +would have seen it right away.... + |
