Macvim: Startup problems

[guenti]

When I start mvim (cli or App starter) I see sometimes this, even when I try mvim -N -u NONE. Closing MacVim and restart helps sometimes.

OS: macOS 10.12.1 (16B2555)

Can you try snapshot-118 https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases/tag/snapshot-118 with the user defaults setting?

$ defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMUseCGLayerAlways -bool YES

[guenti]

Sure.

If I fire up mvim this error came up:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

Current thread 0x00007fffd39d23c0 (most recent call first):
Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT
Vim: Finished.

If I start MacVim via App starter the menu exists, but no window at all, even if I select New Window from the menu.

Python Versions are the standard system Python coming with macOS 10.12 and Python 3.5.2 from python.org.

This error cames up the first time. 'til snapshot-117 that was not happen.

Thank you for the information. snapshot-119 should be fine with python.org 3.5.2 binary
https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases/tag/snapshot-119

Same behaviour with snapshot-119. See the pic.

@guenti what does your defaults look like?

$ defaults read org.vim.MacVim

[guenti]

The output is:

MMAutosaveColumns = 134;
MMAutosaveRows = 38;
MMTopLeftPoint = "{1852, 669}";
MMUseCGLayerAlways = 1;
NSQuotedKeystrokeBinding = "";
NSRepeatCountBinding = "";
SUEnableAutomaticChecks = 0;
SUHasLaunchedBefore = 1;
SUSendProfileInfo = 0;

Hi there!

I have an external monitor on my MBP and the behaviour only exists if MacVim opens on the external monitor. Weird.

[settermjd]

I have that behaviour regardless of where I'm trying to use MacVim. :-(

Hey, I still have this problem. Is there any solutions?

[magiclyx]

Hi, snapshot-119 solved the problem, but it appears again in snapshot-144.

I am also getting the " No module named 'encodings'"crash that guenti mentioned, but only when I start editing and only after upgrading this morning. Let me know if there's any information I can gather to help debug.

@guenti Is it still a problem for you?
@jschloer Is it still a problem for you?

[jschloer]

Just updated to the latest to be sure and it works for me. Thanks.

[guenti]

No, it works with snapshot-155.

Thanks for following up @eirnym. I will close it out. File another issue if it happens again.
