Appears to happen if, and ONLY if, the second line is blank (i.e. ^$ will match it as a regex)

 

I update the FreBSD Vim port on the first of every month, but I'm
happy to update early if there's a breakage.

Updating is a matter of changing PORTVERSION in
/usr/ports/editors/vim/Makefile, and running 'make makesum' from that
dir.

Updated to 822 with no effect (see below)

Does this behavior change if you change TERM (say, screen-256color)?

No (with screen-256color)

 

If you ssh from the console? If you use a different terminal emulator?

If I use xterm (default settings and -rv) it disappears.
