me to

  • Vim: 9.2.250 (Homebrew, /opt/homebrew/bin/vim)
  • OS: macOS Tahoe (Darwin 25.4.0), Apple Silicon (arm64), version 26.4(25E246)
  • Terminal: Apple Terminal.app (TERM=xterm-256color), version 2.15(470)
  • Shell: zsh

Reproduced with:

  • vim --clean
  • vim -u DEFAULTS --noplugin
  • TERM=screen-256color vim --clean
  • TERM=nsterm-256color vim --clean

Only TERM=dumb avoids the issue.

-w capture shows two KE_OSC (0x80 0xfd 0x6d) events injected at startup.

Did this start happening recently? If so, can you possibly try using git bisect to find the bad commit? Thanks
