$PSStyle.Progress.View = Minimal on some terminal types when there is output

[jhoneill]

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

On 7.2 make sure you have PSStyle.Progress.View = set to minimal.

foreach ($i in  1..100) {if ($i % 20 -eq 0) {$i} else {sleep -Milliseconds 50}  Write-Progress "Checking" -PercentComplete $i } 

On (e.g) Windows terminal this works as I would expect, Multiples of 20 are output and the progress bar shifts below them I can output more than a screenful and the progress remains below my output, all good.

In (e.g) the PowerShell integrated console in VS code the moving progress bar leaves past versions behind and obscures the output

@andschwa Can you please take a look and see if this should be transferred to PSES repo?

[jhoneill]

@daxian-dbw I'm starting to wonder if it is a PSES issue with things that move the cursor, rather than an issue with the the cursor movements that PSStyle is calling for.
If others come back and say "It happens in this host too" it needs to stay here; if not I can close this and open a fresh issue in PSES if that's more help ?

[daxian-dbw]

I observe different but equally disturbing behavior by running your repro script in the VSCode integrated console (PSES 2021.11.0). As is shown below, the last progress bar lingers around and prompt is not working well afterwards. Even cls doesn't work properly to clear the screen.

The same works fine in the default PowerShell terminal (not the integrated console comes with PSES).

[SeeminglyScience]

Unsure if the original problem is related, but what @daxian-dbw describes is due to a missing piece in the host impl described here.

[SydneyhSmith]

@jhoneill is this issue fixed in our latest release?

[jhoneill]

@SydneyhSmith Yes ! :-)

I'll close the issue
