[chrisduerr]

Please try the latest Alacritty version before opening an issue. I will reopen if you can confirm it is still broken.

[shetozz]

@chrisduerr Do you mean the latest one provided by the distro or what? Because I just rebuilt from source minutes before reporting the bug.

The version you've specified is over a year old. 0.14.0-dev is the latest version, 0.13.2 is the latest stable release, 0.13.0-dev is far behind both of that.
