VIM does not work as expected using ssh terminal under version 2025.2.13.1

When I use vim and I copy a line of text (yy) and then paste it, it overwrites the second line rather than pushing it down and adding it as a new line. there may be other issues, but that makes this terminal unusable. I just installed 2024.3.16.0 and it works correctly there.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

What type of data source are you using?

Could you test with the latest version of RDM 2025.1.14.0 and let me know if you encounter the same problem?

You can use a portable instance for this test:

It's a local data source. I'm connection to any one of my Redhat linux servers. They all do the same thing. I set the connection up using an SSH shell. I was using the most recent version of the application. I didn't try it with that particular version. I'm very busy at the moment. I'll try to get to testing this when I have a moment.

We are currently unable to reproduce the issue on our end. However, we’ve noticed that several users have reported a similar problem.

Hello,

Following up on my previous message, would it be possible for you to send us a TRP recording of the SSH session?

Here are the steps to create one:

1. In the SSH session properties, click on Session Recording.

2. Set the mode as required and choose your preferred destination.

3. Click Save.

4. Navigate to the Administration tab and click on System Settings.

5. In System Settings, select Session Recording, and under SSH Recording Type, change it (if necessary) to Terminal Playback (.trp).

Once the recording is ready, please send it to us using the same link I shared with you via direct message.

Best regards,

Carl Marien

You're going to have to be a lot more detailed in your instructions. Which Menu item, when sub menu pick. Screenshots would really help. I can't find any of the options you said I need to set. I found how to record a session but it only saves it as a media file and doesn't show anything useful.

Hello,

Apologies for the lack of precision in my previous message. Please follow the steps below instead:

1. In the SSH entry properties, go to Session Recording. Change the Mode to Required and set the Destination to Custom. Then, choose your preferred file location.

2. In the Administration tab, click on System Settings. Go to Session Recording and, under SSH Recording Type, ensure it is set to Terminal Playback (.trp).

After completing these steps, reproduce the issue. A .trp file should be generated in the selected location.
