That being the case /bin/vi is the more appropriate editor to use as root.
Any hints as to how to workaround the text remnant problem with /bin/vi
as root on Gnome Terminal?
OK, firstly which versions of gnome-terminal and vim?
Does this fail only for root, or is it for all users?
Please try:
vi -U NONE -u NONE thefileinquestion
.. and see if it still occurs. This runs vim with no config. files which,
if it works, might indicate a funny setting somewhere as opposed to a code bug.
FWIW, it doesn't fail for me as a normal user on FC3 with vim 6.4.
