Dear Maintainer, When opening terminal, prompt appears in the middle of the screen. I disabled .profile, .bashrc and .xresources to no effect, so I assume, it's not configuration issue. Putting "clear" in .bashrc "solves" the issue. Issue disappears on downgrading to 9.30-2+b4 from "stable" branch. Also there is a discussion of this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77062
A patch is available for this in the AUR -- https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/lines-rewrap.patch This issue seems to manifest specifically for users of tiling WMs (I use xmonad). I've tried to rebuild the package adding the patch above, and it seems to fix the issue.
