vi issue in SSH TTYs to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
- by Steve Campbell
After upgrading my server to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, I can no longer use the vi editor to edit anything in an SSH terminal (I access the server by launching ssh sessions from Cygwin running on Windows). The empty portions of the vi window fill with garbage.
The workaround is to launch an xterm from the server back to my Cygwin/X display. Using vi from within the xterm works fine.
Setting my TERM to vt100/vt220/xterm does not help.
