Highlighting matching parenthese doesn't work after scrolling viewport

[graywolf]

Steps to reproduce:

1. open any file for which vim highlights matching parenthesis
2. scroll viewport in such a way that only first parenthesis of the pair if visible
3. move cursor onto the first parenthesis
   • expecting that this will trigger the highlighting
4. scroll viewport without moving cursor (C-e or mouse wheel) so that the second parenthesis of the pair becomes visible (cursor is still on the first one)
5. second parenthesis is not highlighted <---- ISSUE

Expected result:

1. second parenthesis is highlighted

Confirmed in vim 7.4.1752

[Yggdroot]

The matching parentheses is only highlighted between line('w0') and line('w$'), It's not an issue.

[h3xx]

I don't really know why this was closed.

[brammool]

The match highlighting is only updated when moving the cursor, not when scrolling. There is no autocommand for scrolling, thus it can't really be changed easily.

[graywolf]

@brammool How hard would it be to add autocommand for scrolling? Do you believe it can be reasonably done? I've never done any Vim development, but I could try.

This would be when curwin->w_topline changes. Unfortunately this
currently happens in several places.

Maybe it works to do it like CursorMoved. That is in main_loop().
last_cursormoved keeps the previous position.

Like CursorMoved has CursorMovedI, we may need a separate event for
scrolling in Insert mode.
