Vim NerdTree corrupts when using Tmux

Question

As described in the title, the nerdtree just corrupts when I'm scrolling down the screen in vim by "control + f". As shown in , most of the folder information, supposed to appear in the left bar, is tangled and covered by the file content.

I did find similar issues posted in stackoverflow, but none of those got a good solution yet.

Thanks

Looks like an issue with your TERM environment variable. Please ensure you've export TERM=screen-256color. – Billie

Thanks for pointing out the setting of the TERM. It indeed solves my problem. – Ballistics

My issue got solved after setting 'export TERM=screen-256color' in my bashrc. Here's a few doc/link to complement/explain his solution: 1. tmux FAQ noted "most display problems are due to incorrect TERM setting" 2. another question relates to 'TERM' – Ballistics

Answer 1

Put this into your ~/.bashrc:

export TERM=screen-256color

As you've found out from the tmux FAQ, "most display problems are due to incorrect TERM setting"
