Description
Description
When $TERM is ghostty, typing anything once micro is open prints junk at the bottom of the screen.
micro should handle TERM=ghostty. Enabling the xterm setting works around this in the meantime.
Environment
- Version: 2.0.15
- OS: macOS Seequoia 15.7.5
- Terminal: Ghostty 1.3.1

Research direction
First reproduce the issue in micro 2.0.15 on macOS with TERM=ghostty, then compare it with TERM=xterm-ghostty and the xterm setting workaround. Trace micro’s terminal handling for these TERM values; done means typing with TERM=ghostty no longer prints junk at the bottom of the screen and the existing workaround remains usable.
