Disabling the tui causes issues

[conradkoh]

Current Behavior

setting tui enabled = false results in this output

the issue goes away if I remove this from all project.json files

"typecheck": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "pnpm typecheck",
        "cwd": "apps/webapp"
      }
    }

yet still run the command with pnpm exec nx run-many --target=typecheck --projects=@workspace/webapp,@workspace/backend

Expected Behavior

The UI should show the neat arrangement as expected without rendering issues

I'm experiencing the same issue and it's significantly impacting my workflow. I disabled the new TUI because it doesn't provide any value to me, but now the logs are difficult to read due to the formatting issues. Either way, the terminal output is hard to work with. Would really appreciate a fix for this.

hi guys, traced this further and managed to be more specific about the cause. I do not see this issue when running commands with the flag --outputStyle=dynamic but experience it when I set it to --outputStyle=dynamic-legacy.

I'm seeing the same issue, also with the run-many command. It's not consistent and only about 50% of the devs on my team are seeing it, but it does occur regularly and it's very disruptive.

It repros for a few different targets so it's probably not related to any specific commands/tools being run (e.g. tsc, lint, etc.)
