zsh delete part of the prompt

Question

When I use reverse history search, then it "eats" a part of my prompt. Sometimes when I type a long command which spans to multi lines, my prompt is also lost.

Have anyone experience this situation? It is very annoying. I have attached the screenshot.

Thanks.

This is usually due to non-space using items actually counting as space (e.g. formatting escape sequences like color etc.). These should be wrapped in %{ ... %} pairs.
