Research direction

Start by reproducing the display corruption described when connecting from macOS to Ubuntu 18 LTS, using mosh 1.3.2 and iTerm2, including running two ls commands before opening vim. Compare the terminal output with the attached screenshot and identify a minimal reproduction; done means the stale and missing characters no longer appear.
