What I usually see is the case with what -- I think -- you are
describing, it is because there are non-printing control characters in
the prompt which get counted. Thus ZLE's count of characters on the
line doesn't match what is visually on the line. Doing anything that
(un)wraps the line at that point is ... at best ... a mess.
Proper use of %{ and %} sequences to keep ZLE from counting the
non-printing / control characters helps a lot.
