Blinking issue

[j-bennet]

Jonathan,

I used your great toolkit and made a stab are creating a CLI to work with docker. This is my project here: https://github.com/j-bennet/dockercli (it's in very early stage so please don't judge too harshly). I'm noticing there's a blink after each read_input and before result output. At first I thought perhaps I'm doing too much work when parsing input, but then, the blinking happens even when you press "enter" without typing in a command, when the cli defaults to outputting help on commands, and there's no work being done there at all. Also, blinking happens when you don't even run commands, but just quickly type some abracadabra in, while inside the dockercli.

Can you advise?
Thank you!

Hi @j-bennet,

I'm very sorry for the late reply. (So much things have been going on lately.)
Hope you are doing well. I see you're still actively working on your dockercli. Nice!

Does it still happen? I remember someone else telling me that he had some blinking issues, but I was unable to reproduce it on any terminal. Can you tell me which terminal and operating system you are using?

@jonathanslenders It was @amjith that told you, happened on his Mac Air. I still see the blink when I simply press "Enter" inside my CLI (it outputs a help message when doing that). I don't see it anymore on quickly typing. I noticed this behavior in Linux Mint 13 with GNOME Terminal + Tmux, and on my Macbook Pro with iTerm.
