Tabulators in text brake the menu
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
def main():
options = ["entry \t 1", "entry \t 2", "entry \t 3"]
terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(options)
menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
print(f"You have selected {options[menu_entry_index]}!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
A small change from the original example - adding tabs in the option list - makes the tool behave unexpectedly. Instead of being able to move the cursor, clicking an arrow button now makes the menu confusing:
python simple-term-menu.py
entry 1
entry 2
> entry 1
entry 2
entry 1
entry 2
> entry 1
