Research direction

Start by running the provided prompt-toolkit example and reproducing the right prompt appearing at the bottom of the terminal before input is submitted. Trace the terminal layout behavior responsible for rprompt placement; done means the right prompt stays in its intended position while editing and after submission.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I'm trying to use right prompt, it appears at the bottom of the screen. When the input is submitted, the right prompt is moved back.

Example code (from the prompt toolkit website):

from prompt_toolkit import prompt
from prompt_toolkit.styles import Style

example_style = Style.from_dict({
    'rprompt': 'bg:#ff0066 #ffffff',
})

def get_rprompt():
    return '<rprompt>'

answer = prompt('> ', rprompt=get_rprompt, style=example_style)
