Use of "vi" in terminal minimizes terminal in laptop not pc

Postby dvgevers » Aug 8th, '21, 20:49

I have Cauldron on my desktop and laptop. Everything up to date. Laptop has a smaller number of packages installed but in most respects is the same as the desktop.

When i use vi in a terminal on my desktop it works normally and the vi screen is the same size of the terminal .(xterm, aterm, Eterm etc.)

But when i give the command vi <filename> within a terminal on my laptop, the terminal screen minimizes. Neee to restore the size to use vi. When i close the use of vi [ esc ; ":wq" ] again the terminal minimizes!

This happens since i don't know how long and gets to be annoying.

I searched several ways in Google but i could not find a pointer to avoid this minimizing !

If anyone knows how please tell ! Thank you
