Research direction

The issue shows a visual overflow in the terminal progress display when the terminal is moved to the right and content is long. Investigate the terminal's progress bar component in the VS Code source, likely under `src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/`. Focus on CSS properties controlling width and overflow, such as `overflow x`, `text overflow`, and container sizing. Check if the issue is specific to a particular theme or resolution. A fix might involve applying `text overflow: ellipsis` or setting a maximum width with overflow hidden.
