It doesn't seem like the issue is resolved by 5.8. Could it be something else?

jching-mos:~% echo $ZSH_VERSION
5.8
jching-mos:~% stat -f %z ~/.zsh_history
2829751
jching-mos:~% echo "Hello
dquote>
jching-mos:~[130]% stat -f %z ~/.zsh_history
66

To add, $HISTFILESIZE and $HISTSIZE are both set to 9223372036854775807 (I want to keep everything :) )

Ah, I see, thank you! I will give 5.8 a try

I believe this is fixed by the patch in workers/44067
