Thanks for reporting. From playing with it I think this has to do with Xcode 15 / macOS 14 SDK. I just updated my software and I knew it was too bugfree / seamless to be true :/. I'll take a look.

If you want to build from source, you could use the older macOS 13 SDK from Xcode 14.3.1.

I’m not really an Xcode user and don’t know how to make these changes. I have a Makefile that configures the build and runs it from the terminal.

As a side note I did notice though, that I can’t build anymore on a macOS 13.5.2. Maybe I need to upgrade Xcode but I have no clue yet.

Ok I just found the issue. It's a clipping change introduced in macOS 14, and should be easy to fix. Should be fixed soon.

As a side note I did notice though, that I can’t build anymore on a macOS 13.5.2. Maybe I need to upgrade Xcode but I have no clue yet.

What do you mean? Can you be more specific? MacVim definitely does build in macOS 13.

[al3xandru]

Would it be better to create a different issue for that?

[ychin]

Sure feel free to make an issue

[al3xandru]

I can confirm latest build doesn't show this issue anymore. Thank you
