Public bug reported:

When editing file with vi, it works well as far as I don't try to modify
the file. When I hit insert key the word INSERT doesn't appear at the
lower left corner of VI. I also have to hit insert key twice to be able
to add/modify line.

Hitting backspace to delete characters, does not do nothing.
Down arrow produce letter B. Right arrow produce C. Left arrow produce D and Up 
arrow produce A.

To edit a line to let say replace a word, I have to do backspace from end to 
start of word, then
hitting delete, removes letter. Then I can type what I want.

ESC key works well as well as :wq.
But as said, I never see INSERT in lower left corner. And I have to hit twice 
insert key
to be able to edit the file.
