Research direction
Reproduce the issue with a NodeJS project by changing font size, line spacing, and supported fonts, then observe dependency-install progress output. Trace the terminal rendering path responsible for command progress bars and verbose output. Done means progress remains fully visible across the reported font and spacing settings, with regression coverage if the relevant tests are found.

Describe the bug
Progress for commands have inconsistent behavior when using other fonts/font size/line spacing.
Using external (supported) fonts, sometimes it ends up with progress bars/command verbose outside the viewing area, which could be problematic when trying to diagnose or catch any issue in real time.
Using the default font, if the size is increased enough (from 15 starts) and line spacing is more than 1.5 (this could be a usual scenario with users with visual impairment), the command gets cut. So far I've seen this behavior in NodeJS as seen in the image below
To Reproduce
- Change the font size to 15 or above and change the line height to 1.5 or more
- Initialize a NodeJS project (npm init)
- Install any dependency or try to install any existing dependency
Expected behaviour
Terminal should show the progress bar completely.
