Hi there,
something's up with my vi(m) editor in my mac pro Terminal app (Mac OS Catalina) and it's driving me insane.
It happens when I make a new file, say a python function in which I might write from the command line:
$vim function.py
def function(variable):
pass
then I type :wq to save it and exit.
Next time I open it I'll see each letter bracketed by ^@, as in:
^@d^@^@e^@^@f^@ ^@f^@^@u^@^@n... you get the idea.
Interestingly, if I add text to an existing file, save it and close it, the issue isn't there next time I open it. It seems to happen only when I make a fresh file and with vim 8.1.2292 as well as 8.2.1719.
Any help to solve this would be much appreciated.
Keep up the great work,
Nicola
