Flickers on Simple Terminal (st) #11

I'm not certain if this is a problem that you are able to fix or if this just a problem with the way that st handles rendering. However, every time the bar update there is a very noticeable flicker. I have only experienced this problem with shox so I suspect that you may be able to fix it.

Update: So it seems to flicker less when I switch back to a regular PS1 prompt instead of the starship prompt I was using.

Flickers with Alacritty + Fish shell default prompt.

I got simple prompt and it is also flickering every second on st. Got zsh as my default shell.

My prompt: PROMPT="%1~ %F{blue}>%f "

For me it flickers with any terminal I have tried (tilda, guake, gnome-terminal). From the minimal testing I have done it only seems to flicker when using `{bash: foo}'.

I would love to figure out a solution, this is the exact type of tool I had in mind for simple monitoring of servers while in ssh sessions. eg ssh -t user@server 'shox; zsh -l'
