Public bug reported: I support a number of systems remotely, and often find myself using vi in an ssh session to edit various files. In some cases, but not all, when I press the up arrow (in insert mode) I get a capital letter A and a new line instead of the cursor moving up. Other arrow keys have similar issues. This only seems to be a problem when in insert mode.
My system is 12.04 64 bit. When I connect to a remote system that is 64 bit it works fine, but when I connect to a remote 32 bit system, I have the described problem.
