Always equal resize when toggle (horizontal) split windows

[hunter-street]

I have (horizontal) split windows and manually set the sizes. But when I switch focus between windows VIM always equally resize them.

I am not a VIM plugin writter but I found below change will fix it somehow...

man I spent hours trying to figure this out :( It was this plugin that was causing the issue, so annoying. It would be nice if the author just fixes this because it is harder to to use a custom patch because using a vim plugin manager means it will be overwritten at some piunt

Just fell victim to this as well on Fedora 21 / vim 7.4. In case someone needs to reproduce:

• start a "clean" vim
  $ vim -N -u /dev/null -i /dev/null --noplugin
• load minibufexplorer
  :source ~/.vim/plugin/minibufexpl.vim
• split window
  :split
• resize the split so the two windows have different sizes
  :10wincmd +
• toggle minibufexplorer and observe the bug
  :MBEToggle

The patch from hunter-street helps but my window layout still breaks with multiple splits. I have commented both blocks in ResizeWindow():

"    let saved_ead = &ead
"    let &ead = 'ver'
"    set equalalways
"    let &ead = saved_ead
"    set noequalalways

"    let saved_ead = &ead
"    let &ead = 'hor'
"    set equalalways
"    let &ead = saved_ead
"    set noequalalways

And now with several calls to MBEToggle all my horizontal splits end up 'minimized' at the top of the screen, below the minibufexplorer window.
