Console/Output: cursor and linelength about parable HOT 4 CLOSED

Hm, the reason the cursor movement methods don't influence the lineLength is because they're not quite compatible, as you showed. Especially when you consider cursorForward(), cursorBackward() and cursorPlace().

The most fitting solution here is that as soon as you use a cursor-movement method, lineLength gets reset to 0. If I'm reading your example well that would work as your expected behavior states.

There are some other solutions possible, but I feel they might get really complicated very quickly.

I think the solution I mentioned before should be enough, and then add some comments to clearLine() to specify that it will give unreliable results in combination with cursor movement.

(additionally, after trying your example, the lineLength is 18260, and on my full-screen terminal it ends up just clearing the screen and printing "All done", hehe)
