Describe the problem: When connect to a linux server with save output plugin on, if we use tab or backspace, there are something wrong with the log file. There are some meta info in the log file. (See the attach picture for detail)

Thanks for the report. The save-output plugin stores the complete terminal output in the file, including any dynamic screen updates. Here, you're seeing the carriage returns issued by the shell when re-drawing the prompt, and your own backspace inputs. I'm doing some automatic scrubbing to remove e.g. color-related escape sequences, but I don't have a solution to handle prompt redrawing (or other CR-based line updates) yet.

Thanks for your reply. Looking forward for the issue to be fixed.
