Description

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/master/examples/telnet/toolbar.py

When running this example, I don't see the bottom toolbar when connecting over telnet. I do see the prompt and completion menus, but I don't see the toolbar.

Research direction

Start by running examples/telnet/toolbar.py and connecting over telnet to reproduce the missing bottom toolbar while confirming that the prompt and completion menus still appear. Trace how this example configures and renders the toolbar. Done means the toolbar appears over telnet without regressing the existing prompt or completion behavior.
