This only happens when using ZSH

version - Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.125]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

When booting up WSL the prompt is overlapping on to the next line. This issue only seems to occur when using longer file paths (eg '/mnt/c/Users/Lewis').

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

What should be happening is that the prompt and the path should be on the same line.

The right is what should be happening. https://imgur.com/a/ZeXi2
