Hm. My guess is that your Terminator executable pretends to be an xterm but doesn't act 100% like one, and that you hit one of those corner cases when it doesn't. Vim works well, and doesn't show those spurious characters, in the following circumstances: - when run as gvim (i.e. as a GUI) - when run in a "true" xterm - when run in a pseudo xterm which really mimics the behaviour of a true xterm. My konsole terminal (version 18.12.3) is one. There are others. Myself, I don't use Terminator, but maybe someone else (who does) is reading this.
