Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
A few months now, when running micro it hangs on startup after clearing the console. The only way to terminate the process is to close the terminal or kill it. This happened occasionally for the past months so i thought it was some problem with my machine. For the past 2-3 weeks I can no longer use it 100% of the time. I tried the -debug flag but the the log file didn't contain anything.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the startup hang with micro at commit 225927b9 on Arch Linux in KDE Konsole, including after the console is cleared. Compare behavior with and without the -debug flag and inspect the resulting log; the issue is done when micro starts reliably instead of hanging and the cause is documented or fixed.
