login & password keystroke not always echoed on screen choose session get stuck while Arrow-Up Arrow-Down text input cursor finally jumps to the left side of the screen.

Things are running so bad here, I must be doing the wrong way as a whole. No idea what to change...

I had similar issues on void, I think due to conflict with agetty. By default, greetd runs the greeter on tty1, where I duplicate your issue when I also leave the agetty-tty1 service running, and resolve it by turning agetty-tty1 off. One can also resolve it by configuring /etc/greetd/config.toml to run on an otherwise unused VT, like 7.

For comparison, a (non-greetd) CLI display manager like emptty will run fine on tty1, even if agetty is also running on it.

That's quite interesting. If this is confirmed, I will add a note to the README.

OK, currently managing to tweak agetty-ttyX configuration, for which I'm @ newbie level :)

Cancelling c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux --noclear in /etc/inittab didn't change anything here.
