[BUG] Leftover newlines with progress after using remove_task.

[Baa14453]

Describe the bug

Hi, I'm using asyncio where two independent functions might add a progress bar at any time and they will progress independently. Because of this, I can't use Progress in a context manager such that it destroys the object when the progress is done, instead I am initialising the object and passing it through to both functions at their initialisation.

I didn't want any leftover progress bars to remain, so I delete them on completion by calling remove_task. I then ran into this problem, while the task is removed, either the space it occupied remains, or add_task automatically attempts to compensate for another progress bar that it thinks exists above it, and adds a newline. The result is the same, as time goes on the progress bars descend further and further down, I've recorded a gif to demonstrate:

I've also put together the minimal code to recreate this:

from rich.progress import Progress
import asyncio

async def meow(progress):
    with progress as progress_bar:    
        task = progress_bar.add_task("Meowing...", total = 10)
        meows = 0
        meow_total = 3
        meow_increase = 1
        while meows < meow_total:
            progress_bar.update(task, advance=meow_total / meow_increase)
            meows += meow_increase
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
        progress_bar.remove_task(task)

while True:
    progress = Progress(transient=True)
    asyncio.run(meow(progress))

A simple way to avoid this would be to move the with progress as progress_bar contextmanager to outside of the main while True loop. This avoids invoking the context manager multiple times. Here is a modified version of your minimal code snippet that works as you describe on my machine (WSL2):

from rich.progress import Progress
import asyncio

async def meow(progress_bar):
    task = progress_bar.add_task("Meowing...", total=10)
    meows = 0
    meow_total = 3
    meow_increase = 1
    while meows < meow_total:
        progress_bar.update(task, advance=meow_total / meow_increase)
        meows += meow_increase
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
    progress_bar.remove_task(task)

progress = Progress(transient=True)
with progress as progress_bar:
    while True:
        asyncio.run(meow(progress_bar))
