I have had similiar problems. I have had fewer problems with version 0.75.
There is an option in one of the dialogues (I think from the menu item
"Terminal..." ) that let's you turn OFF auto-linefeed. With this
option disabled, I have been able to use vi quite well.
0.8 has the problems you state, and becomes unusable. It's too
bad, because 0.8 has some features that I could use.
