Whose bright idea was it to add an ascii spinner when the large texlive packages (e.g. texlive-doc and texlive-latex-doc) are doing their thing? I use Smart to do my package management, and I end up with tens of thousands of lines of: [-] [\] [|] [/] and it make it very hard to scroll just to the parts of the log that have actual messages to display. Is there any way to turn that feature off?
Expand the Xterm or Konsole or whatever other terminal you are using this is NOT new has been going on since 10.3 if your terminal window is too narrow .
It's not a terminal window of any kind. Smart has its own gui. If lines are too long, I get a horizontal scroll bar. That doesn't happen with the texlive output. And Smart cannot handle output that is meant to overwrite itself. I guess this is the second Smart issue I have (the first being that threads time out after 15 minutes whether they are actively downloading or not -- which means that kernel sources and several texlive files don't get fully downloaded on the first try).
