Description Keith Howanitz 2006-03-29 20:28:44 UTC

Description of problem:
When in gnome-terminal (does not happen in e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2 system terminal),
edit long file with vi (e.g. vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf). Scroll down with j. The new
line will append the text from the previous line for anything longer than the
current line. Does not work for normal user, only after issuing su - root

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-enhanced-6.4.007-4
vim-minimal-6.4.007-4
VIM - Vi IMproved 6.4 (2005 Oct 15, compiled Mar  9 2006 09:43:24)
Included patches: 2-7

How reproducible: Any file tested, as long as 
1) in gnome-terminal
and
2) logged in as root (su - root)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gnome-terminal
2. su - root
3. vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. scroll down with "j"
  
Actual results:
new line appended with text from previous longer line

Expected results:
only new line

Additional info:
vim or gnome-terminal bug???

This is supposed to be fixed with the latest release. Please reopen if this
happens again and don't forget to include the exact package versions of vim and
gnome-terminal
