I donât have this problem using the OS X terminal app, so Iâm guessing thereâs something fishy with the X11 app?
Might be worth checking what TERM is set to on the remote side. I've
had few problems using TERM=xterm. (I avoid vi, though.)
A different line of thought is that your Mac-local xterm has a different
notion of what the character set encoding is than the remote vi does.
This would only matter when non-ASCII characters are in view.
