New issue 168 by wanghong...@gmail.com: A strange string would display,
like ^[[>1;3202;0c
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=168

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I don't know how to reproduce this problem, it's just shows up
at times, It's not content of the file been opened, Content of
the file is not influenced. When I scroll down
until that line disappear and then scroll up again to that line,
The string just disappears. Cursor could not be moved on characters
of that string

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This string shouldn't be there.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is the termresponse string that is sent by the terminal in
response to a query from Vim. See

:helpgrep t_RV

I used to see this a lot when running the 'p4 diff' command in my
Perforce workspace, but I wasn't able to find the cause at the time
and I haven't seen it recently.

Regards,
Gary

Can you reproduce the problem with the latest version? There were some
fixes (e.g. 7.4.389)

It looks like 7.4+ isn't yet available on an official Debian *stable* repo
(not even backports)...

Wang, did you end up installing from source or from testing/unstable?

Yes, unfortunately, there does not seem to be more recent versions for
stable Debian.
I also use Debian but since I like the most recent vim versions, I usually
self-compile into ~/local

It is not hard and there are plenty of instructions how to do so.

Yes, I'm using Debian testing, but seems that the vim package in Debian
repo is not compiled with ruby support. So I end up installing it from
source.

Comment #8 on issue 168 by vega....@gmail.com: A strange string would
There are plenty of vim packages in Debian which have ruby support.

$ sudo apt-get install vim-ruby
[sudo] password for jamessan:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package vim-ruby is a virtual package provided by:
vim-nox 2:7.4.481-1
vim-gtk 2:7.4.481-1
vim-gnome 2:7.4.481-1
vim-athena 2:7.4.481-1
You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package 'vim-ruby' has no installation candidate


I just uploaded 7.4.488 tonight, so it should hit testing in 10 days (if
nothing delays it). I'll try to get around to uploading that to backports
at that point, too.
