You installed Pure using this method: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure#oh-my-zsh Right? If not. Try doing that.

If you followed sindresorhus instructions and the issue is still present, this might be a problem with Hyper as concluded in https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/issues/248.

You can try to set PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL='>' or change font and see if the problem goes away.

Closing due to age/lack of updates. Feel free to re-open if this is still an issue.

I run into the same issue. Changing the prompt symbol to '>' doesn't help.

@niklaas could you open a new issue and fill out the details in the issue template?

[niklaas]

@mafredri Thank you for your answer. I had been desperately looking for this issue to inform you that I could solve the problem. The Debian system lacked ncurses-term thus terminfo for tmux-256color was missing. After installing ncurses-term everything worked fine.

I found out by running reset in the terminal. An error mentioned that the terminfo couldn't be found.

@niklaas happy to hear, and thanks for reporting back! This would be good material for a troubleshooting section/document.
