Arch Devs,

  vim-9.2.0437 for some reason includes `PP` at the top of each new file it creates, e.g.

$ vim foo

This just started with this version update. Downgrading to vim-9.2.0388 (and vim-runtime-9.2.0388) resolves the issue.

  Does this need a bug?

I have seen the same thing.

The PP goes away when you do an insert and add some text.

If the file is not blank/new the PP doesn't show up.

I copied /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/archlinux.vim to /etc/vimrc and there isn't any difference


I opened a bug upstream:

https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/20140

'vim -T xterm' is the problem (what vim chooses by default with TERM=xterm)

You can set 'vim -T ansi' or 'vim -T vt320' and it works fine. Whatever changed broke the builtin xterm behavior for certain terminals.
