Your distribution probably aliases 'vi' to 'vim'. Try adding "set noshowmatch" in ~/.vimrc and see if that fixes it. It isn't a new feature, probably a change in the default settings for your distro.<div>

I guess a recent update to vi has a new functionality that whenever my<br>
cursor falls on a {[( it automatically shows me the matching one.<br>
<br>
I don't know about anyone else, but this has got to be the stupidest<br>
thing I've ever seen, particularly when you have a goodly number of such<br>
beasts.<br>
