This is weird. As in, *deeply* weird.
I ssh as root from one box to another (there are keys involved), and I go to vi a file, such as # line 1 # # line 2 # # line 3 # line 4
And what I see in vi is # line 3 # line 4
BUT, if I scroll the cursor over each line with the arrow key... I see all four lines. I've also looked at another file, and same thing. Just checked it out on the server I ssh'd in from, and no problem. 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?
Mark, I can not reproduce it. I ssh (with the key) from FrraBSD 9.3 box (from either /bin/sh Bourne shell or /usr/local/bin/bash Bourne again shell) to centos 5 (fully updated, bash shell), and my vi does behave as expected, it is:
which vi /bin/vi
vi -V
~ ~ VIM - Vi IMproved ~ ~ version 7.0.237 ~ by Bram Moolenaar et al. ~ Vim is open source and freely distributable
I guess we need more detail about what you have.
Here is the file I open with vi:
cosmo ~]# cat test # line 1 # # line 2 # # line 3 # line 4
Here is what I see when I open it with vi:
cosmo ~]# vi test
# line 1 # # line 2 # # line 3 # line 4 ~
