Promt jumps around, words and lines disappear, for no obvious reason. See video.

I think the video explains the problem.

This usually happens when you override TERM somewhere in zsh startup files or the terminal settings.

"echo $TERM" returns "xterm-256color", which I believe is the right setting for tilix. I checked .zshrc and ~/.profile and term was not overriden there. There is only one line in my tilix.desktop: "Exec=tilix --maximize".

That TERM value looks correct. Could be a buggy zsh plugin, or a bad interaction between plugins. Or broken terminfo.
