Yes: this works. If I remove forcing the term and I hit backspace a few times, then I can edit the file properly.

I really would like to understand why this happens: it looks like there is a reason but I am not able to guess it.

It doesn't seem to depend on my settings: I created a brand new user without any prior custom setting and it is the same behaviour.

Does it happen when you run Vim in a terminal? Which terminal(s)? Try a few to narrow it down.

I'm guessing the 16.04 upgrade introduced a new behavior (bug) in the terminal you use.
