I've found that when using the pulumi CLI, if your number of resources exceeds your screen size you start getting weird buggy screen refreshes that make it basically impossible to see the progress. I'm not sure if this is a bug with my particular setup (Pulumi running in WSL in Windows Terminal) or if this is a known issue in the CLI?

I have found that as well with only a few hundred resources and a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I did quite a bit of messing around with cli settings but wasn't able to improve it. I've sort of just resigned myself to not seeing the status of some resources (which is a pain when troubleshooting)
