vi weirdness

allanm77 — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:22:47 GMT

Hi!

On one my linux machines (shell - tcsh, vim is not installed).

When I do a :set nu it shows , from top it shows line 13 instead of line 1 and when I try to go to line 1 ( :1) it comes to line 13 and while I do horizontal scrolling the newer text (from line 1 starts showing)..

Is it a stty issue, how do I fix this?

Thanks,

Allan.

Is this reasonable for your window?

What is the value of $TERM?

the size is ok with me.

echo $TERM
xterm

The problem happens when I use the iTERM to split the window size and there is no resize command on the box.

Thanks,

Allan.
