Try running

# env-update && source /etc/profile

before using vim

This does not work for me:(

I wonder why I have several boxes runing, only this one, doesn't look
special, has this wired problem. Perhaps I'm just bad luck?

Okay, I realized it must have something to do with the terminal. This
does occur only when I use rxvt to use vim on that specific remote
server. If i use other terminal (xterm) or use vim on other server this
does not happen.

Does this happen also on the graphical version, or only the console one?
What happens if you work directly on the server (no ssh)? What terminal
are you using? What is the value of $TERM after you ssh? Can you send
the output of :version and of :set?

This is probably not helpful, but I had the same problem when using
aterm on my system locally. It didn't happen when using xterm.

Only on graphical login using rxvt. Xterm no problem.

No problem directly on the server.

$TERM value is 'rxvt'

Thank you for telling me all these extra information that I shouldn't
provided in first post:)

I don't see anything definite, but there are a few things I'd try: try
unsetting ttyfast. Also, it appears below that you don't use terminfo.
This probably means you have -ncurses in the USE flags. Might be that if
you recompile with +ncurses it will solve the problem (this will install
the ncurses library, if not yet installed). If you don't want to do
this, try ":set term=rxvt" in vim, and see what happens. If you choose
to use terminfo, you may want to check :help rxvt . That's all I can
think of.

Moshe

PS: You can use :redir to redirect the output of vim commands to a file.

You probably compiled with USE="-ncurses". Not generally a good idea to
do that with vim if you're using something that isn't xterm.
