I have a problem with the vi editor and screen-refresh (and possibly ncurses). Before filing an bug report, I'd like to ask whether somebody noticed this already or whether it is my local configuration problem. Moreover, I'm not able to isolate the offending package.
Here it is: You're editing something and want to insert the current date. No, problem, you type: ':r!date' And the problem appears. The screen doesn't get refreshed, until you add something before the line where the output was written to. Neither ^R, nor ^L refresh the whole screen. I have this problem only on my hamm system, the bo system works like a charm. Any ideas/is this already known? ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) /var/tmp$dpkg -s nvi ncurses-base Package: nvi Status: install ok installed Priority: important Section: editors Installed-Size: 385 Maintainer: Steve Greenland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.79-1 Depends: libc6, ncurses3.4 Conffiles: /etc/rc.boot/nvi 4785743d1b733c9f254d29a28cb299f2 Description: 4.4BSD re-implementation of vi. Vi is the original screen based text editor for Unix systems. It is considered the standard text editor, and is available on almost all Unix systems. . Nvi is intended as a "bug-for-bug compatible" clone of the original BSD vi editor. As such, it doesn't have a lot of snazzy features as do some of the other vi clones such as elvis and vim. However, if all you want is vi, this is the one to get.
