WinBar adds another MacVim menu in the menu bar

[lifepillar]

If a window toolbar (:help WinBar) is added to a window, an additional MacVim menu appears in the app's menu bar (see screenshot below).

Detailed steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. gvim --clean
2. :nnoremenu 1.10 WinBar.Foo :Bar<cr>

I would expect that the window toolbar does not affect the app's menu bar. Alternatively, if a window toolbar is supposed to be replicated in the menu bar, it should be on the far right with a proper name (WinBar?) and its menu entries should be working.

Where have you got gvim from MacVim distribution?

Btw, the step 2 is reproducable.

I install MacVim with brew install macvim. The Homebrew formula creates that symlink:

# Create MacVim vimdiff, view, ex equivalents
executables = %w[mvimdiff mview mvimex gvim gvimdiff gview gvimex]
executables += %w[vi vim vimdiff view vimex]
executables.each { |e| bin.install_symlink "mvim" => e }

So, it's just a symlink to mvim:

ls -l `which gvim`
lrwxr-xr-x  1 me  admin  42 Jun 11 20:51 /usr/local/bin/gvim -> /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/mvim

I think it's a bad idea as gvim and mvim are different by nature. People expect to see GTK Vim instead of MacVim. I'd filed an issue to that formula on this.

I don't know, MacVim is the only GUI Vim I use. I'd just note that in MacVim's app bundle, under Contents/bin one finds gview, gvim and gvimdiff as well.

My bad, I see symlinks. Didn't know that they appeared. a while ago there were no such symlinks. Thank you for an issue

I think it's fine to map gvim to mvim personally. The command line flags should mostly work. But yes this is a bug that should be fixed.
