Description:
A gvim that loads the vim-syntastic plugin is able to breaks my keyboard functioning in xterm.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
community/vim-syntastic 3.10.0-1 (113.7 KiB 677.5 KiB) [vim-plugins] (Installed)
XTerm(359)
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Sep 03 2020 21:38:43)
Linux Z 5.8.5-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 27 Aug 2020 18:53:02 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

* config and/or log files etc.
none relevant

* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67828

Steps to reproduce:
# as user or root open xterm and then

#start gvim without syntastic plugin:
gvim --cmd "let g:loaded_syntastic_plugin = 1"
#close gvim
# Shift+A works

#start gvim normally
gvim
#close gvim
# Shift+A broken:
;2;65~

..same goes for many other keys with Shift, Alt or Ctrl (e.g. Ctrl+C doesn't work). The fact that root is affected as well indicates that no local vim plugins are involved. My root account doesn't have those.

This task depends upon
