Typing is weird in (neo)vim

[lnicola]

Bug description

When I open VIM it displays some random characters on the screen, and the display doesn't always update properly. This is just a display problem, there's nothing being sent. Also, scrolling works, and displays things from the previous screen buffer.

Tested with xterm and xterm-256color.

I suspect this is an escape code not being recognised - I see the letter q appearing a lot, in neovim and zsh, which leads me to think it's DECSCUSR - \e[N q, where N is the cursor shape specifier.

This is still a problem in 1.9.6-oss.
