See NixOS#38535, properly fixing the prompt seems complicated, and this seems to work in all the ttys I checked. Suggested by @Mic92.

A change was introduced in zsh [1] changing the default of PROMPT_SP [2]. It did not however change the walter prompt [3] that nix formerly used as default and nix-darwin still uses as default [4]. In nix it was reported in [5] and fixed in [6]. In nix-darwin a fix have been made in [7], but it is not merged. A later change in nix [8] gives a hint that you should use `prompt off` if overwriting your prompt in `.zshrc`.
