All,

$q q ~ I have seen something like this for a while on server. I thought it was some misconfigured display settings. But yes, I'm facing it too

I'm not using arch atm, but I remember I had the exactly same problem using neovim on the tty. After some experiments, I've found that the cause was the changing of the shape of the cursor. So, try ``` vim -u NONE foo.txt ``` to see if the problem remains. On Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 08:44:11PM -0500, David C. Rankin wrote:

Can someone confirm? Hi,
I had the same problem, but fixed it by changing the $TERM variable from xterm-256color to konsole-256color in Konsole (I don't know why it is set that way in the first place). To change it, you need to edit your profile files (in ~/.local/share/konsole) and add `Environment=TERM=konsole-256color` to the `[General]` section.

It is a KDE issue with konsole. Upstream bug is: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383976 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
