I tested alacritty and cool-retro-term and it occurs only in the latter. (https://micro-editor.github.io/)

I am also having a simillar issue with Zsh. I am using Zsh on Manjaro with i3, and every time I hit backspace it removes the whole word.

Same here with fish. I think the issue is that the terminal sends ^? instead of ^H for backspace. It'd be good to have a way of selecting which control sequence to send, as PuTTY and other terminal emulators allow.

@smithandrewl, I am having the same issue with manjaro zsh. Can confirm that CRT sends ^H instead of ^? for backspace. You could redefine the key:

bindkey '^H' backward-delete-char

in a session or in your .zshrc conditionally (e.g., redefine key if stty -a | egrep '\berase = \^\?' doesn't return 0).

This looks intentional : 63228027e1/lib/default.keytab (L37)

Previously using Gnome Terminal with zsh, I had added bindkey "^H" backward-kill-dir to make Ctrl+Backspace delete whole word and not only a single character. I don’t know enough to give a proper opinion, but it looks like the various terminal emulators have different implementations.
