Java Vi editor issue

When I open vi editor and close it , the content of the vi editor is shown in console even after closing.

Same is happening for manpages also..

Funny you find it an issue. I much prefer that behavior than the standard one.

Anyway, your terminfo rmcup and smcup entries are either missing or incorrect.

Just type "clear" to clear the screen. You may be using an HP terminal that doesn't behave anything close to an ansi/vt100 terminal.

The correct value depends on the terminal emulator you are using. Perhaps is it just your TERM variable which is incorrectly set.

@Perderabo : For other users this issue is not there . This issue comes only when I use my userid ..

Then it should be easy to fix. Make sure:
  • you use the same terminal emulator than the other users
  • your environment doesn't set an incorrect TERM variable
