I have 2 local users on one host, both running with /bin/bash, I compared the env and locale settings and both are the same. But I still get these symbols "•••" on the test user while I'm pressing backspace, delete or arrow keys in vim if I'm on top or bottom. .bashrc also looks like the same of the productive user and I'm also using the same SSH connection settings via rebex.

Anything else what I forgot to check?

  • Those characters are added to the document? What characters are they exactly? (Position over them and hit `ga`.) If that's not what you meant can you clarify what you did mean? Do they behave "normally" at the shell prompt? Did you check the user's `.vimrc` files? Does `vim -u NONE -U NONE` behave differently for the test user? – Etan Reisner Mar 15 '16 at 12:58
  • Check your terminal settings. – e0k Mar 15 '16 at 15:17
  • @Etan Reisner - The symbols aren't saved to the file and are also shown in bash, if I save, close and reopen the file, all symbols disappeared. – Mario Fridrichovsky Mar 15 '16 at 21:30
  • @e0k - I checked the terminal settings, the same settings worked correctly on the same machine on another user. – Mario Fridrichovsky Mar 15 '16 at 21:31
  • This only happens in vim? Only at the top or bottom of the document? What are the characters *exactly*? Did you run that vim command to rule out vim settings? – Etan Reisner Mar 15 '16 at 22:31
  • No, not only in vim. But got more confused, I tried the same rebex terminal emulator on another PC running same OS (Win 8.1) and it works, the rebex config is saved in mySQL so it's 100% the same as on the other PC. So it's clear that this is not a term/bash/vim problem. I will try to clear cache etc. – Mario Fridrichovsky Mar 16 '16 at 00:16

I solved the problem by clearing the cache, there was a kind of bug in RemoteDesktopManager, because normally the session should be refreshed every minute.

Like I told in the comments, I got on the same PC, with same settings, on one of two users on the same host, some kind of symbols. Same settings on another PC still works, so there wasn't any problem with xterm, bash or vim.
