The value of $TERM needs to be appropriate for the terminal you are
actually using.

Vim uses $TERM to determine the terminal's capabilities and escape
sequences from your system's terminfo or termcap database. If the
value of $TERM is not correct, then Vim may obtain an incorrect
description of your arrow keys.

What is the terminal you are using and what is the value of $TERM?
