Looks like you need background color erase. This needs to be fixed in
your terminal. Make sure the $TERM is set correctly. I think for screen
one needs `defbce on` not sure if tmux has its own setting for that.

Anyway for tmux, make sure you have set your $TERM setting correctly. It
should be either tmux or screen-256color

As a workaround for Vim you can set the t_ut to empty. I have this in my
vimrc for a similar reason

if !empty(&t_ut)
" see http://snk.tuxfamily.org/log/vim-256color-bce.html
let &t_ut=''
endif
