Thanks, this does help.

The first prompt you see is not actually a prompt. It just looks like
it. See https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#instant-prompt. It's
the same trick that some mobile operating systems and web browsers use
when they show a picture of the app/website while it's still loading.

To solve your problem you can embed '\e[?2027l' and '\e[>M' in the
prompt (you can leave '\e]7;'$(pwd)'\e\\' in precmd although I would
recommend getting rid of the fork to speed up your prompt [1]). Here's
one way to do it:

    POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_PREFIX=$'%{\e[?2027l\e[>M%}'

Depending on your actual config this may or may not work. A proper
solution would be to open a feature request against powerlevle10k so
that your terminal gets first class support (it's not the only
terminal that uses marks of this sort).

[1]: printf '\e]7;%s\e\\' $PWD >$TTY
