Problem (bug?) with vi

A similar problem occurs when I hit a single return, and
the cursor drops two lines. This is not just key-bounce, since if I
then use the up-arrow key to move up one line, the cursor moves
up two lines. It is too much for coincidence that I should
get key-bounce twice in a row. Again, the use of ctrl-l
to rewrite the screen fixes it, but is slow and annoying.
This just sounds like a line longer than the screen width. Return and
up arrow in vi both mean move a file line, not a screen line.
In lisp it is easy to get real long lines without knowing it.
