Hi all,

I received lots of answers. After trying out a few solutions with my user, she
told me that the funny characters will appeared only when the network
connection is slow. So, I belived that's the caused of it.

Here is my original question :

Hi all,

one of my user told me that when she tried to use the up and down arrow key
using vi editor,
she pressed the down arrow key for a few times, a character 'A' will appeared
and when she pressed a few more rounds, character 'B' appeared. I tried it on
my pc and everything okay.

What has went wrong?

Thanks in advance.
