Can you tell which value of auto-composition-mode did the trick?  Or
what is the value of tty-type on that terminal?  And which file in
lisp/term/ does Alacritty load when you start the -nw session?  I'm
asking because perhaps we should disable auto-composition-mode by
default on this terminal, like we do for the Linux console.

Thanks.
