It's not the shell prompt but the codes that Vim uses to change the terminal state. A shell command needs a different state than what Vim uses when editing. > I recall that for recent vim, terminals such as xfce4-terminal > and gnome-terminal (maybe others) in Ubuntu-18.04 are too > old and Vim can output spurious codes on the terminal, > It hapens for example when doing :!date > Ubuntu-20.04 does not have this issue (newer terminals). > There is a workaround: for old terminals: add the following > lines at the beginning of your ~/.vimrc: > > " Work around spurious characters in old terminals when doing :!date > set t_TE= t_TI= I would not call them "old terminals", but newish terminals with bugs. Old terminals just ignore codes that are not recognized. These newish terminals had bugs that got fixed at some point, so perhaps you call the version with a bug old?
