vim interface broken, new line on every keypress

[jonaskuske]

When using vi/vim, a new line is created on every keypress instead of overriding the current one(s).
So writing "Hi" looks like this:

~
H
~
Hi
~

The 'static interface' at the bottom (mode, filename, cursor position etc.) is duplicated as well every time, which pushes everything else up and out of the window - so before you scroll, you don't even see what you've written. Here is a GIF showing the issue:

Editing using nano works without problems and vim in Hyper also works flawlessly.

I'm using WSL (Ubuntu) on Windows 1809

Is this the released version (0.2.0.0) or current master? Also, did it work before updating to 1809?

[jonaskuske]

The released version.
Can't say if it worked on 1803, all my devices are on 1809 and I first installed FluentTerminal after the feature update.

This seems be fixed with the latest master. Probably the WinPTY update from #95

Edit: Or maybe not, failed to reproduce this with 0.2.0.0. So this needs further investigation

I have had this crop up on me from time to time outside of vim, but not in any reproducible way. A new tab in the same window does not experience this issue when it rears its head in one of my tabs. I can confirm it's a thing, but can't offer any details to point to a cause.

Same here, just had this problem outside of vim.
After restarting FluentTerminal the problem persisted in the starting tab, while opening a new tab, did not have this kind of issue.

Prior to that I noticed that FT used 900MB of memory, which may be caused by the large log-outputs I'm monitoring during web-development with Docker. I've set the scrollback limit to 999999.

Maybe this helps.

Similar issues when using nano

in VI, if I want to move my cursor up/down it would print out character : A or B . I f I move right/left , then it print out C or D .
only when I am in edition mode in VI , after having pressed "I" or "A" .

[nicohouillon]

ok, set nocompatible in ~/.vimrc fixed my problem above, still it was working fine in Windows Terminal Preview without this setting.
