Entered text can get overwritten while typing when wrapped

What happened?

Either:

• Type some text until it gets wrapped (resize for a quicker repro)
• Or past a long command and start editing it in the middle

This gif demonstrates the issue: https://i.sstatic.net/YUkP7.gif

This only happens in git-bash (windows terminal or the default console) but not powershell.

Note when the "blocks" config is empty this doesn't happen.

@alrz you have a command segment that inserts raw ANSI into the prompt. Remove that one and this should work as designed. We don't (and won't) escape input so you'll need to use a plaintext command output (git can do this), or resort to internal functionality to get the last commit information (which we have).

To diagnose this I have had removed segments one by one to see which one is the problem but that doesn't work until I comment out all of them. Just to be safe, I just now tried excluding the command segment as you suggested, but to no avail. Note the same setup didn't have this problem a while back but I'm not sure exactly at which point this appeared. Wondering if you could you get a repro with the information provided?

resort to internal functionality to get the last commit information (which we have).

On that, the reason I used a command as opposed to built-in git was to print %cr (last commit date, relative)

There is, once again, a bug in git bash and readline. I really, really dislike that shell with a passion. For reference, this doesn't happen on Linux, nor macOS.

@alrz it's a Git Bash bug and Nerd Font icons. They calculate the width incorrectly which is why this happens. You'll have to file a bug report on their end. This config works without issues, but as soon as you introduce a "special" character, it breaks:
