Does this also happen in ssh sessions into the same machine?
Does it happen inside terminal multiplexers such as tmux and screen?

Does it happen if you open a different file, too?
Does it happen with different editors?

This message usually means that you pressed Ctrl-Z, which suspends the

You might find out more about your problem by playing around with
