2 years ago This might be a separate issue--I can submit a second issue if that's better--but it seems like it might be related. Let me know if I should submit a new issue for it.
In MacVim, I can use set columns=N and set lines=N to change the dimensions of the vim window. I use these so that I can script changes in the window size. This is very useful for me.
Those two command partially work in VimR, but they only move the status bar, and then it's in the wrong place in relation to the window. These commands don't change the shape of the VimR window. (Again, resizing with the mouse causes the status bar to move to its correct location, but the point is to avoid using the mouse for a resizing operation that I do all the time.)

When "Use custom tab implementation"i unchecked, the status line can appear in the wrong place with the wrong length. It looks like there is a default y coordinate and length for the status bar that isn't updated to reflect the size of the VimR window.
If the window is large, the status bar floats too high, and it's too short:
If the window is small, the status bar is missing, because it's below the bottom of the window.
In either case, using the mouse to adjust the VimR window size causes the status bar to snap into the correct position and length (the full length of the window, one line above the bottom). Maybe this would be easy to fix by calling something that resizing with the mouse causes to happen.
