Is this issue for the cmdline replace mode (`:h c_`) ? Or is "replace mode" the `substitute` command ?

This might be a `guicursor` issue, does it happen when you set guicursor to an invisible highlight without noice? e.g: ```lua vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0,"HIDDEN",{blend = 100,nocombine = true}) vim.opt.guicursor = "a:HIDDEN" ```...

Is lazy or tokyonight needed here or can you reproduce it with just these 2 lines? ```lua vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "HIDDEN", { blend = 100, nocombine = true }) vim.opt.guicursor = "a:HIDDEN"...

You should make an issue to [neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues), noice can't do anything about this.

> check if such highlight group is defined to be anything in the plugin code It's defined here: https://github.com/folke/noice.nvim/blob/0cbe3f88d038320bdbda3c4c5c95f43a13c3aa12/lua/noice/config/highlights.lua#L107

u can set hlsearch's highlights to nothing. ```lua -- vim.cmd('colorscheme theme') vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0,'Search',{}) vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0,'CurSearch',{}) ```
