Actually, I do not think that it is an issue with vim. Any of my machines has a .vimrc file and one has a wrong behavior. However, if I connect through a ssh -X gnome-terminal session to the machine showing an unexpected behavior (VISUAL), vi just behave normally while when I log in front of the machine I get the unexpected behavior. Thus, it is probably an issue with gnome-terminal or gnome.
