VIM outputs control characters

[shahab-vahedi]

It's been a few days that I noticed when closing VIM, I see something like below in my terminal:

❯ vim
�[>4;m�[>4;2m

I have narrowed down the problem to the following line in my .vimrc:

runtime! ftplugin/man.vim

What happens if you start vim with vim --clean, then do :runtime! ftplugin/man.vim and exit?
