Hi, I think the problem, that some random characters are inserted into a file after opening vim is still present, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45535
I personally can confirm, that on Arch Linux with vim 7.4.778-1 the problem is not fixed. There are 2 workarrounds that seem to help. a) remove transparency from .XResources file e.g. remove "urxvt.background: [80]#000000" b) apply a color scheme to vim During work I access my arch box using MobaXTerm (Windows), for testing, the personal version is free for 10 connections! I also use Putty. Problem only happens with MobaXTerm (which I use for years now without problems) but not with Putty (Windows). I do not have a .XResources file so I workarround with a color scheme at the moment. I also can confirm, whithout applying one of the workarrounds but downgrading vim and vim-runtime to 7.4.738-1 the problem is gone. It started (on my machine) with version 7.4.764-1. So the problem needs to be found in changes between version 7.4.738-1 and 7.4.764-1. In my opinion, it is very dangerous for the integrity of configuration files, that vim inserts characters at last cursor position! Kind regards and thanks for your commitment!
