Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?
Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried
Describe the bug
mpv --vo=kitty constantly flashes status message by default (at the top) as the video plays. I can turn it off with --term-status-msg="", but it doesn't seem like the constant flashing should be the default behavior.
On the other hand, when I use the kitty terminal, it does not constantly flash the status message by default.
To Reproduce
I use mpv --vo=kitty --profile=sw-fast --vo-kitty-width=720 <video_file>, but I believe mpv --vo=kitty <video_file> causes it too.
Configuration
no config
Expected Behavior
For the status message to not be constantly showing up by default.

Also, --vo-kitty-use-shm=yes does not work, because Wezterm does not have that feature. Quoting MPV manual page:
Use shared memory objects to transfer image data to the terminal. This is much faster than sending the data as escape codes, but is not supported by as many terminals. It also only works on the local machine and not via e.g. SSH connections.
FWIW, wezterm does support using shm with the kitty protocol.
Maybe Alpine's wezterm package is outdated then? Happens that when I use MPV with Kitty and SHM the terminal is blank and does not show the video at all.
