[BUG] Using status overwrites all previous output when in Jupyter notebook

[ggydush-fn]

Describe the bug

When in a Jupyter notebook, using status overwrites all previous output.

import time

from rich.console import Console

print("Previous output")
console = Console()

with console.status('This overwrites previous output'):
    time.sleep(2)

What platform (Win/Linux/Mac) are you running on? What terminal software are you using?

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

If you're using Rich in a terminal:

@UltraStudioLTD Updated the Platform section!

[willmcgugan]

@ggydush-fn Can you try in Jupyter lab. There are API differences in Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook, which unfortunately there is not much we can do about.

[ggydush-fn]

@willmcgugan Thanks for getting back and you were right on target there! Bummer about the API differences and not having much control over it, but appreciate you taking a look!

Just in case anyone gets here down the road:

I tried this on JupyterHub and it looked like the following (previous text is overwritten):

jupyterhub.mov

Whereas on JupyterLab in a fresh environment (and in Vscode's notebooks), the previous text was kept:

jupyterlab.mov

I also encounter this issue or at least very similar. I can replicate this with the status sample. All output from console.log (except 'task 10 complete') is removed:

When run in a jupyter terminal, I do get the behaviour I expect:

I'm using jupyterlab version 3.2.4, being run from RStudio Workbench on Linux with Python 3.8.14. I have ipywidgets version 8.0.4. Rich version 12.5.1.

Different ipywidgets version

It gets more interesting when I use an ipywidgets version 7.7.2 (last version before v8.0), everything else kept equal.
Then I get this output:

Different environment

When running on a standalone jupyter lab instance on a different machine I even get this behaviour:

This is run with jupyter lab version 3.5.2, ipywidgets 7.7.2, rich 12.6.0, python 3.9.12 on Windows 10. I also tried ipywidgets 8.0.4 which gives equal behaviour.

I don't know if this is all related, but I wanted to be complete. Is there any additional information I can provide that would help?

I hope we solved your problem.
