I've seen this problem since upgrading from hardy to intrepid. There doesn't seem to be any specific trigger. If I repeat the following actions several times, I can trigger the bug after a few iterations:

1. open a gnome-terminal
2. run 'vim'
3. type ^Z to background it
4. run 'ls'
5. type 'fg' to bring vim back

The terminal outputs:
[1] + continued vim myfile.txt

but the vim screen does not refresh itself. I noticed that I can type ^C when it's wedged like that and the display will come back.

I am using the same vim configuration I had in hardy, and didn't see the problem at all until the upgrade. Another note is that I usually run vim inside of screen, but I have seen the problem outside of screen as well.
