Package: reportbug
Version: 3.39-0.1
Severity: normal
The default editor for reportbug (vi? vim?) does not work properly
inside reportbug. When I attempt to edit the bugreport the vi(m) statusline
is repeated at the bottom and my keystrokes are shown. The bugreport itself
is not editable. It sounds a bit strange but the attached reportbug-screen.txt
should hopefully make it clearer. It shows the contents of my terminal after
I pressen a couple of cursor keys.
I have also attached my reportbug configurations, so you can see that I have not
changed the default editor.
The workaround is easy: I set a different editor (like nano) but reportbug
should work out-of-the-box of course :-)
Kind regards,
Sander Marechal

Ok, great, and thanks for your debugging! you can try to give a look
to VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable or "editor" variable in
~/.reportbugrc in order to setup the best editor for reportbug.

I'm going to close this bug, since it is not ;)
