[BUG] Terminal prompt left in wrong place after some commands #13458

Description

@Paraphraser

Description

Occasionally, when running docker compose up -d the command-line prompt will be left in the wrong place.

Image

In the image:

  1. Is where the command was issued
  2. Is the responses from the command as it runs
  3. Is where the command-line prompt is left (instead of after the text in step 2). Anything you type after that gets interwoven with the text in step 2.

I was using Node-RED as my test vehicle - making changes to force container re-creation

It does not always happen for every compose command but it does seem to happen reasonably reliably if an edit to .env is involved.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. A service definition containing something like this:

     environment:
    - TEST=${TESTS:-one,two,three}
    
  2. Edit .env so it has something like:

    TESTS=one
    
  3. Run docker compose up -d. This may exhibit the problem.

  4. Edit .env so the variable changes. Example:

    TESTS=one,who
    
  5. Run docker compose up -d. In my testing, this reliably exhibits the problem.

Anything else?

I can't pin down when this started but I think it was a little before 5.0.0 - maybe 2.40.3 or perhaps even one before that. Initially I assumed it was just me and it took a while to spot the pattern.
