Dear Maintainer,

Today, I just saw black and white blocks in apt’s output… but not everywhere,

what is your terminal setup?

I hit this issue in zellij when text overflows terminal width but I've
not observed it in tmux or pure vte terminals.

Hi,

It’s what apt prints in my lxterminal.

Here is a screenshot.

I did not see it again today.
