Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with zsh RPROMPT and with vim in replace mode, then trace mosh's input prediction and line rendering behavior. Done means existing static text stays in the correct position while input is entered, without heavy rubber-banding.

Description

feature

Input on any line that has static text (zsh RPROMPT, vim in replace mode, etc) pushes it to the right, which results in heavy rubber-banding.
