When running in xterm (a real xterm, not any other terminal reporting itself as "xterm") with TERM set to xterm, Vim puts the terminal in a state where the screen clearing commands \e[K and \e[J do not work (resulting in many artifacts where text that Vim attempted to clear remains on the screen).
This state is apparently as if having sent SPA (ESC V or 0x96) to the terminal, but I can't figure out why or even if this is happening. I couldn't find these codes anywhere in the termcap/terminfo data. This doesn't seem to happen with non-xterm TERM settings. This happens with MacVim 7.4.258, with 7.4.52 from Ubuntu, and with 7.4.908 built from recently-cloned git, but *not* Vim 7.3 [unknown patch level] supplied with Mac OS X. This is as far as I could investigate - does anyone know a way to debug what sequences are sent to the terminal? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
