bug#70562: Trouble using Vim under Emacs's ansi-term

[C.J.S. Hayward]

I have Emacs 21 as installed from Linux Mint Victoria.

I am a long-time Vim user interested in a proportional font terminal, such as 
is mostly provided by Emacs Evil mode or local or (ssh) remote Vim, but I have 
experienced consistent issues using vim under Emacs's ansi-term.

I haven't been able to pin down that if you edit a particular document and 
attempt a particular set of keystrokes, issues arise. However, I have had 
issues with Emacs thinking it is one line higher or lower than it really is, so 
that commenting out a line of JavaScript comments out a different line from 
what the user intended (and what it appears), and random freezing.

I believe that if you have a volunteer who is comfortable using Vim, and ask 
said user to use Vim under Emacs's ansi-term for half an hour (I have not been 
able to discern different behavior between local Vim processes and those ssh'ed 
into a Linux server), the odd behaviors I have experienced will be reproduced. 
Based on my own experience, I believe some inappropriate behavior will probably 
be noticeable in 2-5 minutes, but I mention half an hour as adding slop.


Thanks,
