Isn't rich's fault ?

[naveen521kk]

Yeah it is rich. What we can do is to lock a stable version say v5. I know it works correctly on v5 but not on v8.

[huguesdevimeux]

That's a shame.
Maybe we should open an issue on rich's repo and lock to a stable version, as you said.

Done Textualize/rich#393

[naveen521kk]

Fixed in rich v9.0.1 but anyhow I am gonna wait till the version is locked by #573

We should force installation of rich to ^6.0.0 and not any version.
