Public bug reported:
When invoked as vi, vim.tiny sources /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny, which sets
compatible so that the vi command runs like the original vi. According
to several people on -devel, this is the desired behaviour for vim when
invoked as vi, and the behaviour makes sense.
However, when another variant of vim, such as vim-full or vim-gnome is
installed, the vi command sources /etc/vim/vimrc, which among other
things sets nocompatible, so, for example, arrow keys work in insert
mode. This is not the intended behaviour.
** Affects: vim (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
--
Vim variants other than vim-tiny source /etc/vim/vimrc instead of
/etc/vim/vimrc.tiny when invoked as vi (ie, Arrow keys not broken when running
vi)
