Greetings, All.

On 11.3.1 (M1 Mini), vi/vim is not handling the screen properly under
XQuartz 2.8.1.   Problems seem to be mostly with not properly updating the
screen -- text is left over when scrolling and general editting.

I have no problem inside Terminal.  (I built the original vi from
http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net and this version has no problem.)

Has anyone else seen this?
not I (I use xterm every day -- with the MacPorts server).

You didn't mention the version of xterm (and since XQuartz no longer
bundles xterm, that might be old), nor whether some other application
might cause interference (a user reported a problem which is due to
a mesa application).

"/opt/X11/bin/xterm -version" reports XTerm(367).  I was unaware that XQuartz no longer refreshed the utilities.

As far as other applications, I usually have a few xterms open and emacs (local and remote).  The vi behaviour seems to normal after setting TERM=vt420 instead of xterm.  Other X applications, such as xdvi, are painfully slow on occasion.

Sincerely,
jog
