Problem

I have observed that some CLI text editors freeze when reading a text file inside distrobox container.

Only observed happening with:

  1. Helix
  2. Neovim
  3. Micro

These editors support syntax highlighting out of the box, So i guess that is the reason for the freeze & lag.

Other editors tested, which do not have this problem:

  1. vi
  2. nano

Steps to reproduce

# Create a distrobox container
distrobox create --name alpine --image alpine:latest --hostname alpine

# Launch the container
distrobox enter alpine

# Inside the container, Install stuff
sudo apk add neovim helix micro

# Now, Open a text file & try to navigate around. Rinse and repeat for other editors too

helix /path/to/text.file

You can observe that the UI freezes & noticeable lag

I did not have this issue with alacritty or other mainstream terminals.

Hope this above info helps! Let me know if you need additional info.
