And now, I just ssh'd in from another windows, same way... and the weirdness isn't there.
Anyone have any clues as to what's going on with that one session?
MarkIt sounds as if, for some reason, in that one session, vi doesn’t know what your terminal settings are, so it’s in line editing mode (like ed or ex). I don’t have an explanation as to why it would only happen with that one session, though.
Or your "colors" could be set oddly in that terminal window/vi session.
Unfortunately you are giving almost no details - OSs (original and target machine), shells, terminal settings, etc., so it's hard to do more than jump to potentially rash conclusions.
