STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run ansible-navigator in a Terminal that does not support ANSI control characters like the emacs eshell.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Setting TERM=dumb should ensure that the command just prints clean ASCII without control-characters, as the terminal is "dumb"...

ACTUAL RESULTS

As` you can see above, you get fancy control chars in the output.
