The mis-interpretation of PC cursor keys when accessed vi ssh (as described in the discussion link above) is very remeniscent of trying to use vim.tiny not vim.basic (which server install defaults to). Maybe this along with my above post will help characterise the bug.

It auto-inserts tabs or spaces, and the '/' search mode command works differently (pressing enter is required before you can use cursors left/right). For some discussion, please see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1026820/vi-vim-usage-in-ubuntu-bionic- not-normal/1028684#1028684 Setting :set nocompatbile in ~/.vimrc fixes it, but this should not be required.
