Problem with `:tabnew' command when gVim is maximized under Ubuntu

My OS is Ubuntu 9.04

When I maximize gVim windows

And then type command:

:tabnew

gVim window's height changed.

gVim's Status-bar is hidden by Ubuntu开发者_运维百科's Task-bar.

gVim under Windows XP works fine.

Is there some solution to handle this problem?

Thank you!

This happens to me as well. The workaround that I use is to minimize gVim then maximize it again. After that the status bar is visible again.

P.S. This question probably belongs on superuser or askubuntu.

Bug is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/137854

Bug is reported fixed in debian, but the issue is still there with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)

"unmaximise" and then maximise the window is a workaround the problem.
