Screen-refresh in vi
I have a problem with the vi editor and screen-refresh (and possibly
ncurses). Before filing an bug report, I'd like to ask whether somebody
noticed this already or whether it is my local configuration problem.
Moreover, I'm not able to isolate the offending package.
Here it is:
You're editing something and want to insert the current date.
No, problem, you type: ':r!date'
And the problem appears. The screen doesn't get refreshed, until you
add something before the line where the output was written to.
Neither ^R, nor ^L refresh the whole screen. I have this problem
only on my hamm system, the bo system works like a charm.
Any ideas/is this already known?

Description: 4.4BSD re-implementation of vi.
Vi is the original screen based text editor for Unix systems.
It is considered the standard text editor, and is available on
almost all Unix systems.
.
Nvi is intended as a "bug-for-bug compatible" clone of the original
BSD vi editor. As such, it doesn't have a lot of snazzy features as do
some of the other vi clones such as elvis and vim. However, if all
you want is vi, this is the one to get.

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
