Additional info: I went through my .emacs and was able to find out when the corrupted output occurs, it happens whenever I have '(current-language-environment "Turkish") '(default-input-method "turkish-postfix") enabled. If I turn those two settings off, no problem. I tried to summarize the situation further below. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79678532/corrupted-dired-output-disappears-after-refresh/79678989
