The problem is for serching/replacing, for instance:

:%s/something/anotherthing/gc

In the past, using /bin/vi, the cursor could be seen
on the current instance to be replaced.

Now, the cursor just disappears. It works with vim,
but it uses some nasty colors in this case. The advantage
of /bin/vi was that just a white cursor was on the word
to be replaced, and the user could just type 'y' or 'n'.

The funny thing is that for pure searches the cursor is there,
and typing 'n', makes it go to the next instance.
 

The behavior changed on F8. It used to work on F6, though.
