Running into a slightly strange situation. Basically for reasons outside of my control I'm on a server that somebody else has set up. I've got sudo access, I just can't figure out what happened or find any documentation.
When I open .bashrc (sudo nano ~/.bashrc) I get a static view that just overwrites the top row. I can exit only by hitting enter after hitting Ctrl+X. Screenshot below.
Same thing happens with vi, and obviously this makes it impossible to edit anything on the server. Anyone have an idea as to what might be happening here? I've done a lot of googling, but it's tough to lock this down.
Response of lsb_release -a pasted below.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Looking for any weird code lying around I found the following in the .bashrc:
case $- in
*i*) ;;
*) return;;
esac
I'm not certain what's going on here tbh, but it was the only thing that I didn't recognize so it might be related?

It sounds like someone has messed with the (virtual) tty settings that are best left alone in the 21st century, unless of course you're actually using an antique physical terminal from a computer museum...
You should be able to get the tty on the remote server into a usable state with the command (run on the remote server, immediately after logging in):
stty sane
After you've got the terminal working, look for commands like stty or tput in the shell startup scripts which might be doing strange things to the tty.

Add to the bottom of the file the next line:
export EDITOR=/path/vi
path= The location of the vi editor.
You can execute the command in your current terminal before editing .bashrc.
