Description

i have comment out my other plugins one by one to test. And i realized (among my plugins) only startify provide this quit feature by simply typing "q"...
This bug only appears if i type "vi"/"vim" then followed by "q" kind of quick.
Normal speed is working fine.
It doesn't affect normal use. I mean nobody will just type "vim" and quickly followed by "q", generally...So i just notice this bug and propose it.
(forgive my poor English if words and sentences were misused...
:-)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Vim or Neovim with startify enabled: launch with "vi" or "vim" and type "q" quickly, then compare the resulting display with normal-speed input. Trace the startify quit feature and terminal input handling; done means rapid input no longer displays the reported escape-string artifact while quitting still works normally.
