Hello I am trying to go begining of the line. neither left arrow key or ctrl + a

however its a visual bug my cursor is actually in the begining
I am not exactly sure why it happens but it happen both on default terminal app and iterm2
P.S : it isnt only happens with this command I just didnt know what else to write to show.
