Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
A fourteen year old bug report which details an upgrade between releases which were both 'end of life' over twelve years ago is not useful in 2023 so I'm closing this as 'Invalid'. Please *do* report any problems that you might see when upgrading currently supported Ubuntu releases. ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472082 Title: gvim corrupts text after Jaunty -> karmic upgrade Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: vim The installed gvim application was running fine under Jaunty (on an IBM T30). Now, having upgraded to Karmic (but booted into 2.6.28-14 - owing to consistent failure to boot to 2.6.31-14 documented elsewhere), the application opens showing an initial screen on which all text is corrupted and wholly unreadable. On entering insert mode, all text entered text is displayed in corrupt fashion. If the gvim window is minimised and then subsequently recovered, any text is rendered readable ... any new text inserted is unreadable until such time as the window undergoes another minimise/maximise cycle. The fault isn't, AFAICT, related to the font selected in the window - the same behaviour is exhibited irrespective of the selected font. The attached screen shot shows the state of the app after some text had been entered, a minimise/maximise cycle undergone, followed by further text entry.
