Hi,
I’ve run into an annoyance when using ssh to access a ubuntu system. When
using vi or vim, the screen doesn’t refresh properly when paging
forward/backward using ctrl-f/ctrl-b. What happens is I get a union of
non-space characters between the old page and the new page. So if a character
is a space on the first page and in that location a non-space character is on
the second page, then the non-space character is written. If the second page
has a space, then it doesn’t replace whatever was on the screen from the first
page. On the other hand, if I scroll one line at a time, it works correctly
(just annoying if I’m trying to go through a large file). Any ideas how to fix
this? I’m using XQuartz 2.7.11. Odd thing is, it only does it on my macs with
10.13, my laptop that still has 10.12 does not have this problem.
Thanks…
David
