I did this

I used curl inside of a terminal with a large width (300) to download a file while displaying the loading bar. I tested in both macOS Terminal and iTerm.

I expected the following

The spaceship would be cleared after the file was downloaded, replaced by the full progress bar. The spaceship and progress bar will take up one line total. Instead I saw the following:

The progress bar is capped at a maximum length of 256 but the spaceship flies past that limit and isn't cleared.

curl/libcurl version

Default macOS curl:

curl 8.1.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0) libcurl/8.1.2 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/3.3.6 zlib/1.2.12 nghttp2/1.55.1

I've also tried the homebrew install of curl and saw the same results:
