reactive.nvim Initial view flash when using alpha nvim splash screen

Hi! I'm trying to use this plugin, however it produces a visual flash of the stock nvim starting screen when I use it with alpha-nvim's splash screen. Do you know of a way to fix it? Thanks!

Hi there @sainttttt! Not really sure how alpha.nvim works, but reactive calls the "redraw" when it needs to correctly reflect current mode/operator and it can potentially cause the side effect you're seeing

There's a neovim option called shortmess (:h 'shortmess') in which you can disable the startup screen, specifically doing this disables it for me:

vim.opt.shortmess:append('I')

Please try if it's gonna work with alpha-nvim

I'm getting a similar issue, a small statusline flash when I first start neovim. Not using alpha or any other cosmetic plugins other than a simple theme for that matter. I tried the workaround that you provided but it still shows up. Would love to use this plugin for something I'm building but this issue is kinda visually annoying. Anything I can do to help get to the bottom of this?

Hi @SylvanFranklin! May I have your reactive.nvim configuration?

In addition, if you disable all the plugins except your theme and reactive, does the issue still persist? If so, could you please share you configuration?
