Is this in a terminal of some description, or is gvim opening its own window? What happens if you type :set term (*not* in insert mode, obviously...) Are you using a ssh or telnet connection: if you, what program are you using? At a wild guess, it sounds to me like you've got terminal emulation issues, where vi thinks it's got one sort of terminal, and your emulator thinks it's a different sort of emulator.
