Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  Hi,

  On previous versions of Ubuntu, I've been able to use the key
  combinations Ctrl-<right-arrow> and Ctrl-<left-arrow> to move the
  cursor to the next and previous words, respectively in Vim (much as I
  am doing now in this browser text box).  On Feisty, these key strokes
  result in the text "1;2C" or "1:5C" (for the right arrow)  and "1;2D"
  or "1;5D" (for the left arrow) being placed in to the buffer.  There
  doesn't seem to be much consistency as to when the "2" or "5" variants
  are used, i.e. repeatedly performing these key stokes outputs either
  variant randomly.

  This problem seems to be present in both the tiny and full versions of
  Vim.  These keystrokes work fine in the underlying terminal.

  FYI, here's my setup:

  Feisty AMD64 Herd 5
  Gnome Desktop
  Beryl installed from a 3rd party repository (with aiglx, nvidia).  Please note that I have seen the same results for this problem when using Metacity, so I doubt that Beryl is causing this issue.

  Many thanks,
  --Robin
