Moving up and down in the command history will keep previous commands characters in the prompt

[RNBermudez]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

Going back in the commands history with the up arrow key, and then going back to the latest commands will keep characters from previous commands in front of the prompt.

Steps to reproduce:

1. enter a command (for example ls -la | grep foo
2. go back in the commands history with the up arrow
3. go all the way forward to the prompt with the down arrow
4. characters will be "stuck" in the prompt

Expected Behavior

The prompt should remain unchanged/clean when going back and forward in the command history.

This is interesting, I have had the same issue but never before connected it to Starship. I thought it was an issue with how I have readline setup, especially as I get the same behaviour when Starship doesn't display (exact same behaviour when in an interactive Python session launched by my bash).

I don't really have any further insight into this, but I did implement a workaround, which is this line in my .inputrc

"\C-f": redraw-current-line

which is equivalent to running this bash command, if you don't use .inputrc,

bind '"\C-f": redraw-current-line'

which just means that pressing ctrl-f will redraw the input line, and the phantom characters go away.
