In my experience, the remote shell weirdness is usually because the remote shell doesn’t recognise ghostty’s TERM=xterm-ghostty value. Fixed by either copying over a terminfo with it in, or setting TERM=xterm-256color before ssh’ing: https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo

The terminfo database is one of those thankless xkcd dependencies. In this case, it's been thanklessly maintained since forever by Thomas Dickey.
