FWIW, I reproduced this, once, if I set TERM to dumb inside an alacritty
terminal emulator:
$ TERM=dumb /usr/bin/vim ~/foo
(I specify /usr/bin/vim because I set vim to an alias for emacsclient.
Note that both holy wars and flame wars are off topic for Arch General.)
I can speculate about where to start looking for the bug, but for now,
consider this message as just one more data point.
