Hi there,

something's up with my vi(m) editor in my mac pro Terminal app (Mac OS 
Catalina) and it's driving me insane.


It happens when I make a new file, say a python function in which I might write 
from the command line:

$vim function.py

def function(variable):

   pass

then I type :wq to save it and exit.

Next time I open it I'll see each letter bracketed by ^@, as in:

^@d^@^@e^@^@f^@ ^@f^@^@u^@^@n... you get the idea.


Interestingly, if I add text to an existing file, save it and close it, the 
issue isn't there next time I open it. It seems to happen only when I make a 
fresh file and with vim 8.1.2292 as well as 8.2.1719.


Any help to solve this would be much appreciated.


Keep up the great work,

Nicola
