Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version (3.1.4)
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/hegelstad/788fe5ac89c4152c8063ad49a01284b9
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla
Issue
I remember why I gave up hyper and went back to iTerm 2:
https://www.loom.com/share/c0782ad83e9541359a6538ee27e7e028
These backticks and some other characters are appearing about 20pxs to the right when I trigger them, and then they move to the correct place when I write a new character or move the cursor with the keypad.
Also happens without two plugins that I have active in the screencast: "hyper-whimsy", "hypercwd"
This has been like this since v 2 if I am not wrong.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior described in the Loom recording and screenshots using vanilla Hyper.app 3.1.4, focusing on backticks and the other reported special characters. Done means these characters appear at the cursor position immediately and remain correctly aligned without needing another character or cursor movement.
