Jupyter Notebook progress bar is broken with Julia (not Python)

What happened?

Progress bars on Julia Jupyter notebooks are broken, as they were previously in Python. This is what happens:

This is what should happen:

This also happens with Julia's ProgressBars.jl package.

This does not happen in Python, with tdqm for example. I.e., it works as expected in Python.

Here's the example code for demonstrating this behavior:

import Pkg; Pkg.add("ProgressMeter")

using ProgressMeter

@showprogress for i in 1:10
    sleep(0.8)
end

looks like it works now

Hi @amunger , I retested this on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows, with VS Code 1.73.1 and Jupyter extension v2022.9.1303220346, and the problem remains. I also tested with various Julia versions.

This bug persists in VSCode 1.80.1 on macOS and Jupyter extension v2023.6.1101941928.
Any news on this? Author of timholy/ProgressMeters.jl#231 is positive with merging a fix if the problem is from theirs.

it sounds like was fixed externally, but let me know if that's not the case
