Hmm very interesting! Thanks for reporting it. I'll see if I can recreate it.

Is this on Ubuntu? That magenta terminal background looks familiar.

yup you got it, ubuntu 22.04

Quick update: I have been able to recreate this. Surprisingly, if I put in breakpoints at key points in the app, it behaves as expected. This must be a speed/performance problem. I'll keep digging.

I also thought switching to a polling tailing method (e.g. check the file every 500ms for new log lines) instead of a filesystem alert tailing method (e.g. wait for the filesystem to tell me the log file was written to) would fix it. But it didn't.

More to come.

Seems to be only happening when lines are written out all at the same time or under a millisecond. I still want to fix this, but it shouldn't affect most people.
