I forgot: I assumed you were using vim in a terminal. If so,
please let us know the type of terminal you are using and the value
of the TERM environment variable. If you are using gvim, then the
problem is not the shell but gvim's built-in terminal emulation. In
that case, I understand the problem and you right to be disappointed
in the results. If you use :shell often, I would recommend running
vim in a terminal rather than gvim.
(I never think about gvim's limited terminal emulation capability
because I just don't use it.)
