Background colors leak through to end of line on multilined text #12

In Python on Mac OS 12 (zsh), while doing

print(chalk.bg_blue("some long line of text"))

if "some long line of text" wraps to the next line in the terminal (say because the text hits the right edge of the terminal after "of"), then in the second line, the blank space after "text" will also be background-colored through to the right edge of the terminal window.

I'm not sure if there can be done something on the library level. Isn't this behavior entirely depending on how the terminal is implemented. Gnome terminal behaves like this for instance

which is basically what one would expect right?

I'm glad it works in at least some cases. :) In mine, I started adding "\033[0m\033[K", but I don't know if that's a great fix for all situations.
