@AlxndrPsclt Unfortunatly, for me it happens every time I start or clear the terminal.

Oh, sorry, didn’t got that.

Well, SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ADD_NEWLINE should prevent printing the breaking character to your prompt. Alternatively, you can add this to your configuration to ensure line_sep is not even in the prompt:
spaceship remove line_sep

It did not work. It’s still like the first screenshot =(

That’s weird I’m using Oh My Zsh version 50a526f and spaceship version 4.6.1 (both latest version) on my M1 Mac, using those exacts configs, and I am getting the new line after I clear the console (using iTerm) The only workaround that is working for me is setting SPACESHIP_RPROMPT_ADD_NEWLINE=true Maybe it is OS related?

I have the same bug. I reinstall omz and Spaceship, but the error isn’t fixed.

Hi, I encounter the same exact problem.

I’m not sure if this is really a ADD_NEWLINE problem; because this behaviour is only happenning for the FIRST prompt when open a terminal. After I execute a first command, the other lines are as expected. When I use tab to autocomplete something, the missing line appears.

The video makes it clearer.

Relevant Zsh configuration: SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ORDER=( user host dir git char)

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ASYNC=false SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ADD_NEWLINE=false SPACESHIP_PROMPT_SEPARATE_LINE=false SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL=" ⚡" SPACESHIP_HOST_PREFIX=“@” SPACESHIP_DIR_PREFIX=“:” SPACESHIP_PROMPT_SUFFIXES_SHOW=false SPACESHIP_GIT_PREFIX=" on " SPACESHIP_DIR_TRUNC=4 SPACESHIP_DIR_SHOW=true SPACESHIP_HOST_SHOW=always SPACESHIP_USER_SHOW=always SPACESHIP_USER_COLOR=“blue”

What is version of Spaceship are you using? v4.2.6

What is version of Zsh are you using? zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-alpine-linux-musl)

What operation system are you running? Alpine linux 3.16.2

Do you use any Zsh framework or plugin manager? oh-my-zsh

Which terminal emulator do you use? st

I’ll gladly help you with any other feedback that could be of use.
