Hi @kzoper , I tried your code on linux (Ubuntu) with latest version of library, and it seems to be working. I couldn't reproduce your error. Could you please pull latest version and try again?

@eiannone I can reproduce this when I run it under tmux or screen. Outside of tmux/screen it works as expected.
