vim works fine on the first invocation on a remote Windows host, but further use leads to my terminal getting messed up. :redraw! and reset do not help:
Using the same local terminal, vim works fine on a Linux remote host.
The broken remote host is a Windows server running OpenSSH, whilst the local machine is a Windows desktop. I have tried several terminal emulators, including mintty, ConEmu, and PuTTY, all have the same problem. The remote shell is bash.
I have read and tried several answers on this and other sites, including but not limited to changing the PS1, shopt -s checkwinsize, export PROMPT_COMMAND="resize &>/dev/null ; $PROMPT_COMMAND", stty sane, setting TERM=xterm-256color, vi -u NONE -U NONE, :set wrap/:set nowrap, export set LINES=58… Nothing worked so far.
Relevant info (of the remote host):

I am pretty sure it is a problem with my remote host, as I use the same terminals on this Windows machine to ssh to my Linux server and vi works fine, but I cannot figure out the issue. Here are the same info from my Linux server:

I tried updating the remote host shell and vim (both come with git-bash, which I installed there), to no avail. The output above is from the already updated host, using the latest version from https://git-scm.com/. The gif is from a previous version of vim.
