Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim
Using vim-tiny after a default install is tricky. If you enter Insert mode and attempt to move the cursor with the keys, A,B,C or D is inserted. As Insert mode also will not let you move past the end of the line and the arrow keys won't let you move there it is impossible to add characters after the end of line unless you do editing gymnastics.

This is true for plain vim command running in gnome-terminal. Very annoying.
