This is working as intended.

The purpose of the code you are showing is to replace the content of the current line, without jumping to the next one. This is how Ninja displays its status when it is run in an interactive terminal (but not when invoked from a script, or when its output is piped to another command).

You can use ninja ... | cat on Posix to avoid this (in this case each status line is printed in its own separate line), or ninja .. > CON on Windows (same result).

Another way is to declare TERM=dumb in your environment.
