Progress messages are shown on multiple lines after upgrade to 4.39.0

Bug report

What is the current behavior?

After upgrading to from 4.38.0 to 4.39.0 the progress output is no longer shown on a single line but on multiple lines as visible here:

In the previous version the progress output was repeatedly (just a CR) shown on a single line that got overwritten on each step and now each step is shown on a separate (LF) line.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Just using the --progress option should be enough.

What is the expected behavior?

It's just a nuisance but having back the single line output of the progress messages not to clutter the screen would be nice.

Which terminal?

[doberkofler]

ConEmu 190526 but I also tested it in a regular cmd terminal and it's the same

Could you try this PR #9513 if it fixes the problem?

add this to your package.json to test it: "webpack": "webpack/webpack#bugfix/terminal-length"

[doberkofler]

Wow, that's quick!
Yes, this PR fixes the problem!

I'm on that 4.39.1 patch release and still seeing these weird output things.

Could you file a new issue? Add information about which terminal is used.

With 4.39.1 I also see the extended progress output with iTerm and Terminal on macOS Mojave running zsh
