I suspect that your termcap/terminfo database entry may be incorrect.

If your system is using terminfo (as opposed to termcap)...

infocmp ${TERM} -- will display the terminal settings for your current
$TERM . You may wish to save the output (ie. ... > ${TERM}.info)

Then snoop on vim to see what its issuing:

script snoopy
vim somefile
:q
exit

The "snoopy" file (pls be sure that you don't already have such a file
before doing this). Check that the escape sequences work on your
terminal as they're supposed to. I'm afraid you'll probably have to
google the codes (probably looking for ansi escape sequences will help).

Alternatively, see if you can find a terminfo entry for your ${TERM} via
google and use infocmp to compare what you have vs what the internet
version has.

Good luck!
