Questions[neovim](ubuntu)

On multiple versions of Ubuntu, Vim and Neovim display a horrible gap on the right hand side of the terminal when it is maximised.

This is Gnome terminal:

And this is Konsole:

This does not happen when the terminal is not maximised because it only then only expands to the right by what apears to be full character pixel widths in the case of Gnome terminal at least. This issue also only occurs with Vim colour schemes which paint the background a different colour to the terminal background, such as in the gnome picture above, dw_green, or for Konsole, aqua.

Is there any way to alter Vim/Neovim behaviour, to force them to paint right to the edge even when there isn't a full character's space there?

I'm new to flatpak so I don't really know how exactly it works.

I tried to install python3 on my native system using apt and install pynvim with pip3 install --user --upgrade pynvim. (I did this when I was using snap and it's perfectly fine)

But still, my neovim cannot seem to have the provider working. This following is my health check result.

## Python 3 provider (optional)
  - INFO: Disabled (g:loaded_python3_provider=1).  This might be due to some previous error.
  - WARNING: No Python executable found that can `import neovim`. Using the first available executable for diagnostics.
  - ERROR: Python provider error:
    - ADVICE:

          python3.3 not found in search path or not executable.
          /usr/bin/python is Python 2.7 and cannot provide Python 3.
  - INFO: Executable: Not found

EDIT1:

I made some progress on this. I found that the neovim flatpak app has host enabled so that I can access my native python3 executable through /var/run/host/usr/bin/python3. However, the path to everything that python3 depends on will need to be prepended with /var/run/host/, which is still not happening. Here is the new health check message.

Thank you!

Whenever I ssh onto my remote machine and type : a q gets pre-filled. It does not, however quit when I press enter, it just replaces the colon with a , so below the status line there is a qq.

The machine uses the same .vimrc as my main computer where this behavior is absent ( as it should be ).

Edit: Seems to be a problem with neovim:

sudo su -
vim
: # -> :q in command line

Someone has an idea?
