You presumably have some sort of vim plugin installed causing this. There's nothing that fvwm is going to be doing to make vim in xterm (or any other terminal emulator) come out of insert mode. The only way it could is if fvwm was using FakeKeyPress, but this hasn't worked in years due to most applications not allowing synthetic key events due to security considerations. > I tried starting vim without customization, and fvwm 2.6.8 and fvwm 3 with > stock configuration.

I know you've said it happend with "stock configuration", but I can't reproduce the problem doing just that with vim8. Kindly, Thomas
