>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

vi version 1.34 on the console (TERM==cons25)

>Description:

Sometimes vi leaves the '$' sign on the last line and forgets
to redraw that line properly.

>How-To-Repeat:

make a line that's longer than the screen width, put the cursor
on the last character of the screen on that line (i.e. column 80)
and type 's'.

You now see the proper '$' sign to indicate the replacement. Now type
a single character, for example 'X'. Notice that the 'X' is drawn on 
the first column of the next line. If you type [esc] now you will see 
that the '$' remains on the 80-th column.

The text you typed is stored correctly, only the screen is not 
updated properly. Try [ctrl][l] to prove that.

>Fix:

None, sorry. But it's not serious anyway.

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
X-send-pr-version: 3.2
