<p class="MsoNormal">While developing I often use console prints as debugging/verification tools. In the past I have used io:format for this purpose but I would like to use the new OTP logger to do this and then be able to filter based on severity and/or send
them to a file instead of the console as the project matures. However, I am having trouble currently preventing logger’s output from destroying my console interactivity. I have logger setup to use the console for output but **the logging prints output AT
the current cursor position and thus destroy any input-in-progress** making interaction during busy logging near impossible. In contrast, using io:format performs as desired where the output happens (and scrolls) right ABOVE the cursor line (i.e., without
destroying the prompt). Is this known behavior and/or is there any way to fix it (e.g., with some sys.config settings)?<o:p></o:p></p>
