Cursor is sometimes not going back to the start of the line

[PierreBtz]

What operating system and terminal are you using?

macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 with iterm2

An example that showcases the bug.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/AlecAivazis/survey/v2"
)

func main() {
    prompt := &survey.Password{
        Message: "password",
    }
    var pass string
    _ = survey.AskOne(prompt, &pass)

    fmt.Print("hello")
}

When running this sample, one can see that after the prompt the cursor stays aligned with the previous prompt text:

What did you expect to see?

The cursor is going back to the beginning of the line.

I tracked the issue to PR #309. I re-ran the previous test by adding a call to c.HorizontalAbsolute(0) (like it's done for Windows) and confirmed this was fixing my issue.

I'm experiencing the same sort of issue where multiple outputs creates a staircase effect as mentioned by the OP.

@PierreBtz - do you mind opening a PR with your fix? I would like to give it a shot but I dont have a lot of time at the moment
