Similarly, I was seeing really weird input via vim (when doing `svn ci`) where if I had one of the editing modes on, like insert, it would delete several lines at once; I worked around this by using ^c to terminate insert mode, but that’s a really bad hack. It worked ok with r316745, got worse in r317727, and doesn’t seem to be any better in r318250.

I don't think I touched anything related to editing.  Certainly not for fixing
the mouse cursor starting some time before r317827.  Since then I have spent
too much time on mouse cursors and not much else.
