I have the same problem, vim seems to be starting in vi-compatible mode and that causes it.
Here's a relevant forums thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=286963 After reading a bit, it looks like on dapper "set nocompatible" is in the /etc/vim/vimrc file. However on edgy, this line was moved to /usr/share/vim/vim70/debian.vim which is supposed to be included from /etc/vim/vimrc, but this seems to be not working for some reason. -- using up/down/right/left arrow in insert (i) mode wont works https://launchpad.net/bugs/72174 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
