alacritty: Block cursor dissapears when moved in zsh with zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin
When cursor shape is set to Block, it disappears when I press arrow keys to edit command in zsh. I use zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin which colors commands as I type them and I managed to find out that disabling it makes the cursor behave as expected. Other cursor shapes don’t disappear. Also, when Block cursor’s blinking is set to On - it dissapears at first but as it blinks it becomes visible again.
This didn’t happen until some update but I sadly don’t remember which one was it (mac, zsh or alacritty).

Thanks for your help. Now, I simply removed
cursorhighlighter fromZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERSenvironment variable and the issue disappeared. I should have thought about it but completely forgot this exists. Sorry for the inconvenience and once again thanks for directing me to this solution.https://github.com/adzierzanowski/wacky-sharing/blob/master/alacritty.recording
