I've recently update vim on ubuntu, and since then, a strange character keep appearing at random time at my cursor place. It seems to appear when I do nothing for some seconds. The character is >4;2m and I can't understand the logic of its appearance. Has anyone the same problem ? Switching buffer and coming back to the initial one clean the character.

It was a problem of modifyOtherKeys. After looking at the doc, putting
let &t_TI = ""
let &t_TE = ""
in my vimrc solved the problem.
