When I am in vi, there is a very annoying behavior that occurs when I use the lower-case l to move the cursor to the right such as when stepping over part of a line in order to edit it. As best as I can describe it, here is what happens: As one hits l to step over the first 4 characters, my VT100 emulation which is Kermit, echoes the first character in the line which is expected. On the second step, however, it repeats the first character and then echoes the second character. On the third step, it echoes the first, the second and then finally the third. On the 4TH step, it hits you with the first 3 plus the 4TH. This is extremely annoying in some cases. After the 4TH character, it works perfectly until the end of that line. One thing I noticed is that with older versions of screen, it used to only be the first 3 line positions that caused this behavior. When looking at .screenrc, I don't see anything obvious that deals with the first 4 line positions and don't understand what advantage there would be in this sort of repetitious behavior. If nobody else notices it, it may be something to do with MSkermit which generally works very well, but does occasionally throw one a curve when repainting the screen. In the over all scheme of things, this is a nuisance rather than a show-stopper, but I would sure like to fix it if possible. Thanks for any good suggestions.
