ANSI Escape Sequences Not Rendering Properly in "Window Console Host" when Retrieving Answers from OpenAI API

[johnd0e]

When using the latest version (mods do you like kittens) or v0.2 when piped to glow (mods do you like kittens | glow), ANSI escape sequences are not being rendered correctly in the "Window Console Host." Instead, raw codes like ←[38;5;252m←[0m←[38;5;252m←[0m ←[38;5;252m are displayed.

1. This issue is specific to retrieving answers from the OpenAI API. Other cases such as usage messages and error messages display correctly.
2. The issue is only observed in the "Window Console Host." "Windows Terminal" functions as expected with no display problems.

Although this issue is likely related to the "Window Console Host," there may be potential workarounds or solutions that could address the problem and improve the rendering of ANSI escape sequences in this context. Any insights or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I do not know if this is possible to fix in mods/glow.
But seems that this hack works: microsoft/terminal#1817 (at least partly)

I believe this was fixed long ago, will close it, let me know if its still happening.

thanks!

@caarlos0

No, this is still an issue for me @ Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.4529]

[caarlos0]

so, is the problem in glow or mods? or both?

Well, I am not sure.
May be with glow, but I have no other examples except mods.
