Hi,

thanks for your bug report. Zjstatus is not handling its position itself. This is handled by the layout processing of zellij. I've tested the behaviour in Alacritty on my MBP, but cannot reproduce the issue. Therefore I would suggest to first check the config, the layout and setting the TERM environment variables correctly, since this could lead to such rendering issues.

If this does not help, I'd kindly ask you to open an issue with your layout, the alacritty version and a reference to this issue on zellijs side, since I unfortunately cannot do something in order to fix it.

OK, Thanks for your response so quickly. So you mean that to layout rendered incorrectly caused this issue? you mentioned that if set setting the TERM environment variables correctly, the issue will occur, how to set TERM environment variables, could you give me a sample when you are free? Thanks a lot

Can you please post your layout?

With the TERM var, you could check how it is set with echo $TERM. For alacritty, outside of zellij it should be set to alacritty-direct and in zellij to xterm-256color. At least this is how it is configured on my side for the demo video.

To set these variables, you need to configure them as environment variables in each of your programs.

This is for alacritty for your config file:

[env]
TERM = "alacritty-direct"

This for zellij for the config file:

env {
    TERM "xterm-256color"
}

Feel free to try it. Hopefully it will resolve the issue.
