Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim
Hi,
On previous versions of Ubuntu, I've been able to use the key
combinations Ctrl-<right-arrow> and Ctrl-<left-arrow> to move the cursor
to the next and previous words, respectively in Vim (much as I am doing
now in this browser text box). On Feisty, these key strokes result in
the text "1;2C" or "1:5C" (for the right arrow) and "1;2D" or "1;5D"
(for the left arrow) being placed in to the buffer. There doesn't seem
to be much consistency as to when the "2" or "5" variants are used, i.e.
repeatedly performing these key stokes outputs either variant randomly.
This problem seems to be present in both the tiny and full versions of
Vim. These keystrokes work fine in the underlying terminal.
FYI, here's my setup:
Feisty AMD64 Herd 5
Gnome Desktop
Beryl installed from a 3rd party repository (with aiglx, nvidia). Please note
that I have seen the same results for this problem when using Metacity, so I
doubt that Beryl is causing this issue.
Many thanks,
--Robin
