Not exactly sure when this change was introduced, but I've been noticing a lot of screen refresh bugs lately when using vim inside of tmux - sometimes scrolling down won't refresh the lines and quitting leaves all the lines on-screen. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a possible fix?

I've also seen a lot of issues with tmux after the upgrade. Mostly just output missing or lines being misaligned. <prefix> + q which shows pane number seems to fix things (I think this is redrawing the entire screen).

I was actually able to resolve it by completely quitting the tmux session and starting a new one. I'm not sure what could've gotten messed up, honestly, but everything appears to be working fine now.

Hmm so I played around with it a little bit and it looks like where ever I start the tmux session it works fine, but on the other machine it will fail. So if I start a new session from a terminal on the machine I ssh into Secure Shell is broken, but on the target machine it works fine. However, if I start a new session from a Secure Shell terminal then it works fine remotely, but fails when I attach to it locally. Sounds like it is some option that is getting picked up when it first stats, but it's not immediately apparent to me what it is. It also doesn't appear to be a server option since I can run two different sessions at the same time, one started locally and one remotely, that exhibit the opposite behaviors.
