I have the same problem, but so far, only noticed it with vi. What causes the behavior for me is what text below the cursor gets pushed down the screen, like when a line is inserted. I keep having to refresh the screen with Ctrl+L. I only started having this problem after upgrading to the nvidia 180 drivers. Previously, I was using 177 and didn't have this problem.
