Redraw issues

[ootoovak]

OSX 10.11.6 neovim-dot-app-HEAD-68cf699

Sometimes when Neovim is open (editing Ruby, ERB templates, and terminals running servers) the tab with the Ruby code becomes unresponsive. Even once it becomes (semi-)responsive again the redraw is often laggy or broken completely.

init.vim file if any of these plugins or settings might be causing the issue:

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')

" Some comunity Vim defaults
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'

" Add nicer terminal buffer keybindings
Plug 'mklabs/split-term.vim'

" A file and folder explorer
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on':  'NERDTreeToggle' }

" Show Git statuses in the nerdtree file explorer
Plug 'Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin'

" For code autocompletion

" A command line fuzzy string matcher
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' }
Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'

" A status-line plugin

" A colour theme
Plug 'MaxSt/FlatColor'

" Highlight trailing whitespace
Plug 'ntpeters/vim-better-whitespace'

" Show changes that Git tracks in the vim lefthand gutter
Plug 'airblade/vim-gitgutter'

" Elm language plugin
Plug 'ElmCast/elm-vim'

" Elixir language plugins
Plug 'elixir-lang/vim-elixir' | Plug 'slashmili/alchemist.vim'

" Add Git commands
Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

" Add the end keyword automatically in Ruby

call plug#end()

Using FZF can sometimes cause redraw issues as well.

Caught this in my Console logs during some redraw (and UI responsiveness issues):
