I installed MacVim with those variants on my High Sierra system, and I didn't see that problem.

Is it possible that you double-clicked the wrong app icon, or that you have another copy of MacVim.app on your system and that's the one that you launched?

Does the problem persist after you log out of macOS and log back in (or restart)?
