Provide way of adjusting output format?

Open wjk opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

When I run bxl.sh on macOS in the in-box Terminal app, the output is not formatted properly. See the following screenshot for an example:

Instead of overwriting the previous output (as happens on Windows), bits and pieces of old outputs scroll up the terminal buffer. There does not appear to be a flag I can use to disable whatever ANSI codes are emitted that attempt to do this. Is there anything I can try to attempt to fix this output issue? Thanks!

Thank you for reporting this issue. I have filed an internal workitem to track this. We have quite a few folks build on Macs and I haven't heard about this.

We do have a flag that controls the overwrite beahvior. If you pass /fancyconsole- it should disable it.

This was likely fixed by eef8e9a4b3db39f98c719921e475c73ebfa91d00 which addressed a similar issue on linux.
