Dots after icons in NERDTree, only in GVim

[KabbAmine]

First of all, thanks for your awesome plugin.

With GVim, I had the same problem as the one in #84 ...

... and unsetting list in nerdtree's buffer solved it.

autocmd FileType nerdtree setlocal nolist

It will be good then to add this workaround in the README.

[ryanoasis]

Thanks for this! I will at least add to readme as you suggested 😄

[KabbAmine]

Good 😃 You'll close the issue when the README will be updated then.

[ryanoasis]

Yep 👍

I have exactly the same issue. Everything is fine in terminal
but is cut in MacVim (7.4).

I tried the proposed solution to add autocmd FileType nerdtree setlocal nolist to my .vimrc,
but with no success.

Are there some additional settings that I can try?
BTW, the icons are cut not only in NERDTree but also in vim-airline.

[vohtaski]

actually I just noticed that there are dots.

In my case, there is not dots. Just cut icon, so maybe it's another issue

[ryanoasis]

Uh oh 😢

You can try tweaking this fix in the code to see if it gives any more clues: https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons/blob/master/plugin/webdevicons.vim#L557-L559

Other than that there are other settings but I don't see they would help: g:WebDevIconsUnicodeGlyphDoubleWidth, WebDevIconsNerdTreeAfterGlyphPadding

[vohtaski]

I checked your code and it looks the problem might be with fonts or MacVim, because even in the code it's cut:

[ryanoasis]

Hmm yes actually that is how I usually see it too because they are double width characters so they get a little messed up when viewed without any applied "fix" to their display.

Can you try to see if this helps things: :set ambiwidth=double

edit:

Also not sure but this (executing ga on the cut off 'part') might be helpful: #84 (comment)

[vohtaski]

Thanks a lot @ryanoasis !
:set ambiwidth=double did the trick. It works now!

[ryanoasis]

@vohtaski Cool I am glad that actually worked for you, it also worked for me but caused some issues regarding powerline symbols using Airline:

[vohtaski]

@ryanoasis Yep, I had the same issue, the bigger problem is that it also broke the indentLine plugin :(

[ryanoasis]

@vohtaski could you paste the output of :version for macvim?

I'm particular I want see which patches you have.
Thanks
