Atuin 18.4.0 Broken in TTY mode on FreeBSD 14.2 and 15

First I love atuin at first it would freak me out when I hit the up key but I’ve fallen in love with it. But on this last update it no longer works in TTY mode. It works fine in Hyprland with Kitty terminal. But now in tty mode, I get this

error: Error: The cursor position could not be read within a normal duration 0 < 04:20:59 PM
Location: crates/atuin/src/command/client/search/interactive.rs:1035:24

I would love to get this fixed. Also, I’ve been meaning to tell about one more bug in tty mode. If you have a lot of text on the screen and hit the up key it does not erase the text and mixes with the commands on the screen and you can’t read any of the commands I just clear the screen and then hit up and this kinda works but I would love to get this also fixed. But in Kitty with hyprland atuin works flawlessly

Thank you for the kind words, glad you like it!

Does

inline_height = 0

in your config file fix it? We recently changed some defaults

I had the same issue on MacOS. It happened after I upgraded to Sequoia and then updated everything installed by homebrew, so I thought it was some sort of incompatibility with sequoia.

inline_height = 0 did restore the expected functionality for me. What default did you change that altered the behavior?

Sorry im just getting back but I will try this fix and let everyone know if it works.

We changed the default value of inline_height to 40
