Research direction
The issue involves a display problem on Windows CLI. First, try to reproduce the issue on a Windows machine with Git Bash and Python 3.4. Look at thefuck's output formatting logic, likely in files related to shell integration or printing (e.g., `thefuck/shells/` or `thefuck/output.py`). Check if there is Windows specific handling for ANSI codes or line endings. The attached screenshot may provide more clues about the actual misalignment or garbled text.
