Bug#843521: vim-gtk3: Unable to start gvim: Blank window displayed

[Joel Cross]

Package: vim-gtk3
Version: 2:8.0.0022-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am unable to load the graphical vim (gvim from the terminal) after my most
recent system upgrade.

When I run the command `gvim -u NONE -U NONE -N`, a GVIM window is displayed
with the default decorations, menu bar, toolbar etc, but the main vim window is
missing. The following messages appear in the terminal:

(gvim:9298): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:2:39: The style
property GtkWindow:decoration-button-layout is deprecated and shouldn't be used
anymore. It will be removed in a future version
(gvim:9298): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion 'width >=
-1' failed
*** BUG ***

I will attach a screenshot of the window in question.

I am using the latest version of Debian Sid, with Gnome Shell 3.22.1 as window
manager.
