The cause of this problem is that `RPROMPT` has not yet been set when the `self-insert()` function is called. So the solution is to define `RPROMPT` as an empty string (`RPROMPT=""`) somewhere in your `.zshrc` file, in a place where it will get defined before ZLE is started. This solution came from [this thread](https://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2025/msg00091.html) on the zsh-users mailing list.
