I recently installed Syntastic (https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/) under Vim 8.1 (from https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/vim ) on Ubuntu 18.04, and have stumbled upon an odd issue.
If I start gvim (vim-gtk3) from a terminal, I see a sequence of escape characters printed before Vim starts up: $ gvim �[>4;m�[>4;2m This also happens with the standard 'vim' (it's worst if I'm SSH-ing into the machine), right after Vim starts. This ends up corrupting the screen and means I have to force a screen refresh to get Vim to work correctly again. I've tested a few different versions of Vim on a few OSes: - Ubuntu 18.04 with Vim 8.0 from the Ubuntu repos -- works fine - Ubuntu 18.04 with your Vim 8.1 -- has the issue - Ubuntu 20.04 with either Ubuntu's Vim 8.1 or Jonathon's Vim 8.2 -- works fine Disabling Syntastic fixes the issue, though I'd rather not do this as I've come to rely on it. I've reported this to the Syntastic developers, and they suggested that while Syntastic may be triggering this bug, it's not responsible for it -- and that I should report the bug here: https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/issues/2350 Does anyone know of a bug resembling this in 8.1, or know of a workaround?
