MacVim does not fork from terminal when I open more than one file from commandline #474

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

I have gvim aliased as 

gvim='/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g'

If I do:$> gvim test1.txt test2.txt

MacVim does not "let go" and give me a new command prompt unless I go back to 
terminal and press return.

If I do:$> gvim test1.txt   (i.e. only one file)

MacVim forks as expected and I get a new command prompt.

I can see the same behavior, but the title is misleading: MacVim still forks 
when opening two or more files, it is just that the prompt is not redrawn.

It is strange, but it doesn't break anything and I don't think I'll have time 
to investigate this so I'll leave the issue open.  Thanks for reporting it 
though.

Yes, almost too minor to mention. 

Thank you for MacVim. I live in it.
