Hello, seems like the -r (raw mode) flag which should prevent it from interpreting backslashes is not working? My understanding is the following example shouldn't clear the "CLEAR" part. I can also demonstrate with new lines.

$ read -r TEST
asd\c CLEAR

$ echo $TEST

asd

$ zsh --version

zsh 5.8 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

According to pacman the installed version is 5.8.1

I was also able to reproduce on my mac

zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0)
