Worse, however, is that the cursor is now over the `c' in the word `local', on the line above where it should be. My guess is that the zle code thinks that all 80 columns were printed and thus that the line has wrapped, so it needed to move the cursor up two line; but some other part of the code is suppressing the 80th character in order to prevent the line from wrapping. However, I'm not sure how to track it down.
