Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim-gtk
Using vim-gtk 1:7.1.314-3ubuntu3.
vim sometimes (often) fails to resume properly after ^Z. Instead of redrawing the screen, it produces no output. To get my vim back I have to type ^C, after which it starts working normally again.
To reproduce:
1. Open a terminal
2. run 'vim'
3. quickly type 'ifoo ESC ^Z'
4. wait a few seconds, then type 'fg'
5. nothing happens.
Originally I thought this was an interaction with zsh, but it also happens with the 'bash' shell.
This bug is present in Debian as well. In fact, I encounter it nearly every time I use vim on a Debian or Ubuntu system...

I can't reproduce this bug. Could it be caused by some settings in your ~/.vimrc or some plugin that you installed?
Can you try first to run vim with: "vim -u NONE" to avoid loading ~/.vimrc and plugins. If it then works, you can try commenting things in your ~/.vimrc or move out your ~/.vim directory until you find what setting or plugin is triggering the bug.
