I'm having a very strange bug when using emacs remotely. Currently my .emacs file is commented out except the lines defining the theme:
When i start editing a file, i experience a severe display bug that prevents me from reading an edited line until i quit and reload the file, It is difficult to explain, but i've attached a screenshot of a line of text before and after typing the string "bannana bannana bannana bannana" at the start of the line (and pressing no other keys). I can start emacs with the -q flag to avoid this error, but I would prefer not to as I very much like having the theme set. I've also tried enabling a theme after starting with -q (in case there is a typo in my emacs file), and I get the same errant behavior.
Has anyone here encountered a bug like this before?

Is it perhaps the wrong TERM setting, so you're using say xterm TERM but its actually being run in text with ANSI mode or something? Which ssh client are you using?
Goodness; that version of Emacs was released in 2013, a full 10 years ago :O
Can you not get that updated to something remotely more recent? :) I'm surprised you don't run into a lot of issues, if you're using remotely modern packages.
