Missing separating blank line option

[Somerandomguy10111]

Hey,
close this issue if this is actually possible, but I couldnt figure out for the life of me how to include a blank line to seperate the progress bar from the rest of the text streams when wrapping stdout/stderr.

I think that this is an important quality of life feature for a progressbar. See the attached image below for how it looks when installing/removing apt packages.

Apart from this, great library. Simple and reliable.

Edit: I just discovered the init argument "line_offset". However, line_offset = 1 doesn't seem to achieve the desired effect. It seems to suppress any stdout printing at all

-> ProgressBar(line_offset=0)

-> ProgressBar(line_offset=1)

You can try the line_offset parameter, it's meant for multiple parallel progress bars but it should work for this: https://progressbar-2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#showing-multiple-independent-progress-bars-in-parallel

I tried it, but with this code I don't see any of the "test text messages" being printed, nor the "Program launched! for that matter. I only see the progress bar.

-> Code (using python 3.10)

import time
import progressbar

progressbar.streams.wrap_stderr()
progressbar.streams.wrap_stdout()

start_val = 0
max_val = 20

print(f'Program launched!')
for k in progressbar.ProgressBar(start_val,max_val, line_offset=1):
    print(f'-> test text message')
    time.sleep(0.1)

-> Output

You're right, it doesn't work right now :)
I've tested a little and I don't think any option does what you need currently.
