[chianyungcode]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

macOS 15.1.1 (24B91)

Expected behaviour

Autocomplete must not cover the text behind it.

Actual behaviour

Autocomplete covers the the text behind it.

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to cd, and autocomplete will be shown.
2. Use the same ghostty config as I was.

# Appearance
macos-titlebar-style = hidden
font-size = 14.5
font-family = Jetbrains Mono
background-opacity = 0.8
background-blur-radius = 10
window-title-font-family = Cascadia Code
theme = custom
mouse-hide-while-typing = true
macos-option-as-alt = true
cursor-style-blink = false

# Padding
window-padding-x = 11
window-padding-y = 11

# Keybinds
keybind = alt+shift+t=toggle_quick_terminal
keybind = ctrl+shift+h=new_split:left

# Miscellaneous
copy-on-select = true
confirm-close-surface = false
macos-icon = custom-style
macos-icon-ghost-color = white
macos-icon-screen-color = black
# window-save-state = always

I am able to reproduce with your config. This seems to actually be a Ghostty issue with them incorrectly reporting the IME when using window-padding-x/window-padding-y. I will raise an issue with them for this.

I have created the discussion here: ghostty-org/ghostty#4883

I'm having the same issue when customizing the X and/or Y padding as the following:

window-padding-x = 10
window-padding-y = 20

Looks like this was fixed upstream and will be resolved in the 1.1.0 Ghostty release. I'm going to close this issue since it was fixed there an we have no more items to resolve here.
