Console is inconsistent when displaying symlink to binary file

[jbleuzen]

In some cases the caret of console get out of the console view, inducing that you can't see what you are typing.

Open a new container console, then connect (I only have sh available on my containers)

1. Create a symbolic link to file : ln -s /etc/hosts hosts
2. ls the content of the folder -> Everything looks ok (step-1)
3. Create a symbolic link to a binary file : ln -s /bin/ls test-ls
4. ls the content of the folder -> the newly created symlink rendering have a carriage return before the > (steph-2)
5. Type 2 characters and everything goes back to normal
   6.Type a third character and the error is back…

Why this is a bug ? Because once the full height of console is used the line where the caret goes on the white space (step-3)

Here a some screenshots :

Portainer is such a useful piece of software... Thanks, this is not a critical bug but sometimes it can be annoying to see the line where I'm typing goes up and down.

Hi @jbleuzen

I was unable to reproduce this in version 1.15.0. Could you tell me if this is still happening ?
