The "Delete" key doesn't work as expected

[asm0dey]

In this GIF, you can see that deleting anything with the "Delete" key is very slow: it takes 2 keystrokes for each deletion.
Also, If I type something like "Delete" and then "Space", I see a symbol like this: ء

It doesn't happen with Backspace

Is this a terminfo issue? https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo

I can't reproduce this.

It's reproduced on the local machine in ghostty with zsh without sudo, so shouldn't be

I guess anyone would notice it, so it's something specific to my environment, but I'm not even sure which info would be helpful for debugging

I have the same problem on EndeavorOS (Arch) as I also have to press the Delete key twice in shells. Interestingly, the Delete key on my numpad works fine.

I ran kitten show-key -m kitty on both Kitty and Ghostty and noticed that the normal Delete behaves strangely, but the numpad Delete works correctly:

Kitty

DELETE RELEASE

KP_DELETE RELEASE

Ghostty

For me it works the same!
And in Konsole it's

DELETE PRESS 
CSI 3 ~
