If the prompt length is 80 characters (on an 80-char width term) then (a) the last character is not printed, or at least overwritten with a space; (b) more seriously, typing a command does not scroll the line up, but instead overwrites the start of the line. Anything longer or shorter does not affect this. I know, my prompt is too long. I'm about to change my PS1 to only list the last 30ish chars of %~. And I haven't looked into this -- no WAY do I know zsh's internals well enough to tinker in ZLE.
