[BUG] Captured console output still results in newline being printed in Jupyter

[huzecong]

• [x] I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• [x] I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug

When using console.capture() in Jupyter, a new line gets printed to the notebook when exiting the capture context. This is unexpected, and is also different from rich's behavior in terminal (no new lines printed).

Here's a minimal example. After running the following in a Jupyter cell, 100 new lines are printed:

import rich.console

console = rich.console.Console()
for _ in range(100):
    with console.capture() as capture:
        console.print(1)

I think the issue is within Console._check_buffer. When exiting a capture context, self._render_buffer(self._buffer[:]) returns an empty string. When not in Jupyter, we eventually call self.file.write which is no-op when the text is empty. However, in Jupyter we'd call IPython.display.display, which IIUC always results in an empty line.

Platform

Click to expand

What platform (Win/Linux/Mac) are you running on? What terminal software are you using?

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

If you're using Rich in a terminal:

python -m rich.diagnose
pip freeze | grep rich

If you're using Rich in a Jupyter Notebook, run the following snippet in a cell and paste the output in your bug report.

from rich.diagnose import report
report()
