Bug#981511: reportbug: Probably wrong terminal type

My EDITOR is set to 'vi', but when launching the editor from inside
reportbug, it doesn't correctly clear lines on scrolling, so that
any text from a previous longer line is still visible.
This makes editing nearly impossible.
Unlike I wrote in the subject, the terminal type seems still to
be correct (at least when I start a shell from inside the editor
it shows the correct value 'xterm').
Actually I just found that after returning from the shell,
vi behaves fine, just the original vi invocation is wrong.
With this workaround it might just be 'minor'.
Sorry, but i have no idea what you're trying to say here? what's the
actual problem, in concrete terms, maybe even with an example?
===================================================================
This is how my terminal looks like after doing a CTRL-F in vi
on the docker.io bug:
This is probably the correct behaviour.
My suspicion is that this docker container doesn't mount /proc
correctly, but I haven't checked this.

Some lines are just fine, but look at the last two lines:
tabs don't delete the previous contents and the rest of the line
is also not cleared.
After going up and down in the file the terminal (xterm) is
completely filled with garbage.
To check the TERM variable, I exited vi to a shell (':shell'),
saw that TERM was still 'xterm', got back to vi and suddenly
vi behaved correctly again.
If I use vi directly, or started by any other program (e.g.
'git commit'), I never have this problem.
