I'm not sure if this issue is localized for me or I just couldn't find it when I searched through the issues but in eithercase I'm having an error (extremely minor) where when doing things like performing a sudo pacman -Syu and it's trying to display the download progress bar on several lines in order to show each individual download thread, instead it only appears to be able to update the most recent line. This results in the bottom most line of the screen flickering as it seems to be taking in all of the updates meant for the lines above it (so the package name is cycling between each download thread as it tries and fails to update them each individually for example) and the lines that are above it often just get cut off and left half finished. At first I thought the downloads were just hanging but then I realized what the issue was.

I'm using the futuristic theme on EndeavourOS if either are relevant. I tried to get a picture of what I mean but unfortunately I couldn't scroll back far enough to get a good picture of it.

Having same issue. Sometimes lines get overlapped and don't stay aligned. Sharing a screenshot here.

Having exactly the same issue on ArchLinux:

How it looks in Konsole (and is expected to look like):

How it looks in CRT:

The bottom line rapidly changes between down-most package an the total progress, making both lines not readable.
