Manjaro Symbol Console problem

On a new installed desktop I have some visual problems with the Manjaro Symbol in Console (Terminal). See the pictures.
With the command “clear” everything is normal.

Other than, that you are using zsh, I can’t see what else your problem is. Personally I replace zsh with bash.

The % is zsh shell’s default prompt.

Check your .zshrc for odd lines.

A default configuration look like

 $ cat ~/.zshrc
# Use powerline
USE_POWERLINE="true"
# Has weird character width
# Example:
#    is not a diamond
HAS_WIDECHARS="false"
# Source manjaro-zsh-configuration
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config
fi
# Use manjaro zsh prompt
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt
fi

Yes I am using zsh. Zsh is now default with new Manjaro installations.
The first picture adds a % and teh second picture has the Manjaro Home-map symbol three times.

The .zshrc file from me looks exact the same.

It is looking like a newline is sent to shell when opening but before the configuration has been read, causing a default prompt to be shown before showing the configured prompt.

What specifically causes it - I do not know - some idea could be

  • look at the default configuration in /etc/profile.d
  • it could be caused by the terminal emulator

I have found the cause.
Console uses default the font MesloLGS NF.
I am also using Font Manager to disable some fonts.
By mystake I had disabled the font MesloLGS NF.
When I enabled this font, everything is back to normal.

I have never been able to replicate that.
