Vim and Tmux rendering error

V

I have a problem when using Tmux and Vim. As you can see on the picture when I use nerdtree (or irssi, actually any terminal app), I have these kind of rendering problems.

Every key I type modify the entire terminal rendering.

It's only a graphical bug, but it prevents me from working properly. For example, on the screenshot I submitted, nerdtree is opened.

The rendering issue comes mostly when the lines are too long (wrapping) or when I have to scroll (down or up).

I haven't found a way to solve it. Does anybody has this problem too? I really don't know how to solve this.

Many thanks!

u r welcome.. I am sitting in office, tinypic was backlisted by our company proxy for some reason. Therefore I cannot see your image until I let SO bring it here.... :) you better briefly explain, what problem do you have. The screenshot cannot be enlarged, one (at least me) can hardly see the problem there. – Spiegleman 28/3, 2014 at 14:42

Solution already posted:

tmux set-option -g utf8 off
:set tenc=latin1

or

tmux set-option -g utf8 on
:set tenc=utf8

depending on your terminal configuration.

If this didn't fix anything, try

:set isprint=

which will at least let you work, short of seeing magical graphic characters.

Indeed that was the solution! Thank you very much :) – Ventage 28/3, 2014 at 15:6

The usual way on stackoverflow.com to say that is to click on the accept mark just below the score (currently the big 0) of my answer. – Cheliform 7/4, 2014 at 14:13

I know, and I have tried but I need 15 reputations to be able to upvote, but don't worry I will come back to it and will not forget to upvote it. It saved me lots of time! – Ventage 9/4, 2014 at 7:24

@Jim: You talk about "upvoting", I talk about "Accept". The "Accept" button will also reward you some rep. – Cheliform 6/1, 2015 at 8:35
