Colored output out of order WinApi

[TimonPost]

There is a problem occurring where WinaApi is the default like Windows 7,8.

Here's the code:

    let crossterm = Crossterm::new();
    ...

    println!("Currently, only Keycloak is supported as Identity Provider. When setting the");
    println!(
        "IDP URL, please note that you will have to pass {} of Keycloak.\n",
        crossterm
            .paint("the exact path to the saml client")
            .with(Color::Yellow)
    );

But it gets displayed as this:

As you can see, the "the exact path to the saml client" gets put to the start of the message. It also seems like the color is cleared to "white" instead of the default gray.

To print an colored text in the middle of a phrase you can call into_displayable() on a StyledObject. But with WinApi the colored text will not be at the place you have placed the formatting {} symbols. But instead, it will be printed at the start of the console.

Here you have some code to reproduce.

fn main()
{
    let screen= Screen::default();
    let crossterm = Crossterm::new(&screen);

    println!(
        "Some text line 1 \n \
          Some test line to {} and more text.\n",
        crossterm
            .style("Some yellow collored text")
            .with(Color::Yellow)
            .into_displayable(&screen)
    );
}

I don't really know what this is I think it has to be doing something with buffering of text. Like when you call into_dispayable() your text will be written with WinApi. Maybe because of that WinApi will write first before rust writes the text to the console.

In version 0.5 this will be partially solved. As long as you don't use alternate screen you won't have problems with it.

This is partially solved with #44. When you aren't working with alternate screen it is working as expected now @Rukenshia .

This will be fully fixed in 0.9

Fixed in #115
