Carriage return does not work

[tgalaj]

Hi,

Recently I was using the indicators library to print some progress bars inside my pet projects. Everything was working fine until I replaced the machines. On the new machine progress bars are not printed correctly:

Progress bar is configured in the code as follows:

	indicators::show_console_cursor(false);
	indicators::ProgressBar bar
	{
		indicators::option::BarWidth{30},
		indicators::option::Start{"["},
		indicators::option::Fill{"="},
		indicators::option::Lead{">"},
		indicators::option::Remainder{" "},
		indicators::option::End{"]"},
		indicators::option::PostfixText{"Rendering..."},
		indicators::option::ForegroundColor{indicators::Color::green},
		indicators::option::ShowElapsedTime{true},
		indicators::option::ShowPercentage{true},
		indicators::option::FontStyles{std::vector<indicators::FontStyle>{indicators::FontStyle::bold}},
		indicators::option::MaxProgress{max_pixels}
	};

        (...)
        bar.set_progress(count);
        (...)
	indicators::show_console_cursor(true);

I thought that it has something to do with the carriage return. After that, I changed indicators::option::Start{"["} to indicators::option::Start{"\r["} and it worked like a charm:

However, I don't like such a workaround. Is it something bad with the indicators library or am I doing something wrong? (I'm using the newest version of the single header indicators lib).

I suppose I could add the carriage return to the progress bar start string always. That way, you don't need to.

I can do this and push an update.

Please this if this commit fixes it 4790bfd

I'll reopen this issue as the problem still emerges. I found out that you also need to increase the size by 1 (size of "\r" string that you output to the os stream) of the start_length variable to be working properly (best to handle it in the constructor imho).
