Description
When viewing serial logs in WindTerm, some lines overwrite the previous line instead of appending.
The issue happens because the logs include ESC]104 sequences. WindTerm doesn’t parse these sequences, so it moves the cursor to the start of the line and overwrites existing text.

Research direction
Start by locating the C terminal escape-sequence handling for ESC]104 and reproduce the overwrite with the serial-log example. The work is done when those sequences no longer move the cursor to the line start or overwrite previously displayed log text.
