I can't able to reproduce your problem, seems works fine for me, no issue at all. Can you try micro on xfce terminal, by doing pacman -S xfce4-termimal and see if it works on there or not. Though I'm not in Arch, currently on Debian with KDE and using micro on Konsole, everything looks good for me.
