Description
When using the 'tail -f' command to view logs, it encounters a bug that prevents it from running continuously for an extended period. After running for a while, the log display stops updating, especially when viewing logs from rapidly updating files, where dozens of lines are added per second. The log display becomes unresponsive and fails to update. The only solution is to manually terminate the 'tail -f' command with 'Ctrl+C' and then start it again to continue monitoring. This issue needs to be resolved promptly to ensure continuous and reliable log monitoring.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by running `tail -f` against a rapidly updating file and observe when refreshing stops; done means the display continues updating reliably during extended monitoring without restarting the command.
