fclones group partially clears the terminal

[Thomas Otto]

Running fclones group . works fine, but redirecting paints over existing output. In both xterm and konsole the following terminal state

/foo$ for i in {1..25}; do echo $i; done
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

22
23
24
25
/foo$ fclones group . > /dev/null

becomes this after running the group command:

/foo$ for i in {1..25}; do echo $i; done
1
2
3
/foo$ 

Redirecting stderr (e.g. 2> /dev/null) prevents this.

Are you on arch linux?
Mine does that too

On archlinux can confirm. Also fclones group | fclones remove --dry-run results in fclones: error: Failed to write report: Broken pipe (os error 32)

I guess that might be something related to printing the progress bar.
Adding --quiet option fixes it fclones --quiet group ... >/dev/null.

Thank's for reporting.

@pkolaczk might this commit be the cause?

[Piotr Kołaczkowski]

I don't know, this indeed looks like indicatif issue. I have no idea if downgrading it fixes it. Upgrading to the newest version didn't help.

For sure I can also reproduce it both on macOS and Ubuntu.

Thank you so much Piotr!
