Description
I'm writing a full screen app that takes input from multiple files which are being written to by remote processes. These processes use tqdm to display progress bars (their output is redirected to the files). If I read the files using standard python and use the print function, the bars display fine. Now I want to display all the files at the same time so I'm using this library to make a split screen full screen app. The problem is the display looks like this:
with each update printed on a new line preceded by ^M
is there a way to display this properly?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the full-screen split view with files containing tqdm output and carriage returns, then inspect how the terminal UI renders those characters; done means progress updates display correctly instead of showing literal ^M and separate lines.
