Sounds like a bug in your termcap entry.

Look in your termcap at the "is" [initialization] and "rs" [reset] strings.
I believe the "is" string is emitted when "vi" (or any other "screen mode"
program) is entered, and "rs" when it exits. An "rs" sequence is also emitted
when "vi" catches a <^Z>, and "is" emitted again when you "%%" the job. (I
just checked this, sort of, by looking at the way a vt220 switches magically
from "numeric keypad" mode to "application keypad" mode and back when you
run "vi" and exit.)

So you should check "rs" for having something missing or wrong. (Or
maybe "is" is using an overly "strong" command that "rs" can't undo?)
