Thank you for your response.
I am not using:
set -g status-right "text"
that works as expected.
I have tried:
set -g status-right '#( echo "text" )'this is what causes the issues. A simple
case like this can easily be fixed by using the first method, but I am using
something like this to get dynamic information:
set -g status-right '#( /call/my/script )'
##/call/my/script##
#!/bin/sh
if [blah blah]; then
echo "this"
else
echo "that"
using printf instead of echo does not fix the problems with the glitching.
also, my clock is already the rightmost thing i specify in the status. the
garbled text is always added on beyond that regardless of what is there.

Subject: Re: Tmux: echos to the status bar
Ian,
Are you echoing using a simple text string…
set -g status-right "text"
…a system call...
set -g status-right '#( echo "text" )'
…or a terminal echo string…
$printf "\033]2;text\033\\"
...or perhaps something else?
I recall seeing something like this issue when updating elements flush to the
right edge of the screen. I think I just rearranged the elements of the
statusbar to keep the clock (with timezone) always on the right.
set-option -g status-right " #[fg=cyan]#36T#[fg=colour238]|#[fg=yellow]%H:%M:%S
%a %d-%b %Z"
