Progress Bars over 80 characters move up the screen when stdout is redirected

[jparris]

Hi There,

I've encountered a case where if the progress bar length is over 80 characters and stdout is redirected the progress bar will move up the screen overwriting previous output. As can bee seen in the screen recording. Below is screen recording and code snippet.

Reproduction

https://github.com/console-rs/indicatif/assets/125183/cc523dc7-842c-4fc5-a5bf-b42c4b0163ea

Code

Note: The progress line only hit's 81 characters and displays the behavior when we 100 iterations.

use indicatif::{MultiProgress, ProgressBar, ProgressStyle};
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() {
    let num_jobs: usize = 500;

    let display_manager = MultiProgress::new();
    let pb = display_manager.add(ProgressBar::new(num_jobs as u64));
    pb.set_style(
        ProgressStyle::with_template(
            &format!("{{spinner}} [{{elapsed_precise}}] {{bar:.cyan}} {{pos}}/{{len}} This is a long comment in the progress "),
        )
        .expect("Could not create progress bar style"),
    );
    for _ in 0..num_jobs {
        pb.inc(1);
        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
    }

    let _ = display_manager.println("Progress Bar Completed.");
}

I think this might be the same as #606?
