[arch-general] problems with vim

Hi list

I wanted to ask here first, because it might be a configuration problem on my side, which I tried to, but couldn't figure out.

My problem is, in vim the right and left arrow keys don't do anything in command mode (in insert mode everything's normal). The up and down arrow keys work as expected. I know in vim it makes more sense to use hjkl to navigate, which I prefer most of the time, but sometimes - I don't really know why - I use the arrow keys.
To investigate further I moved ~/.vim and ~/.vimrc, still the same. I tried it with a new user, still the same.

Is this a bug? Can somebody confirm this behavior?
