Color plugin leads to endless cycle

ansicolor-0.4.3 I have a jenkinsfile:

node('mac&&master') {
  ansiColor('xterm') {
    stage('Checkout') {
      gitClean()
      checkout scm
    }
    stage('Environment Setup') {
      sh '''
        brew unlink imagemagick
        brew install imagemagick
        brew link imagemagick
        gem install bundler
        cd Projects/FutureMobile
        bundle install --deployment
      '''
    }
    stage('Fastlane Build & Install') {
      sh '''
        ENGINE_PATH="/Users/App/~/sharedspace/UE_test/LocalBuilds/Engine/Mac/"
        cd Projects/FutureMobile
        VERSION=0.0.7
        export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
        echo $GIT_BRANCH
        echo $JOB_NAME
        bundle exec fastlane build_pr version:$VERSION build:$BUILD_NUMBER engine_path:$ENGINE_PATH
      '''
    }
  }
}

And the colour plugin leads to endless loops at the stage. Console output looks like this (note date stamps):

Without ansiColor. It works just fine. The same for wrap([$class: 'AnsiColorBuildWrapper', 'colorMapName': 'XTerm']).

I can confirm this issue. It doesn’t always happen for me (30-40%), only with pipelines (color output for normal jobs works just fine).

The symptoms seem to indicate (haven’t managed to reproduce any of the examples in this thread in v0.7.2) another problem caused by generous ConsoleNote usage - ansicolor used to annotate each line of output with meta data which may have led to bloated log files.

Since ansicolor v0.7.0 the annotations are used only to indicate begin/end of an ansiColor() area and as a shortlog trigger. As a result the logs should grow by a couple of KBs tops which allows even jobs producing hundreds of MBs of output to finish in a reasonable time.
