[BUG] `input()` or `Prompt.ask` does not work properly with progress bars.

See original GitHub issue

The input() / Prompt.ask() functionality does not render properly with the progress bars.

Specifically, the input being typed is visible for a brief second only. It then hides behind the progress bar. The input, however, is captured properly and prints without issues.

from time import sleep
from rich.progress import track
from rich.prompt import Prompt


for i in track(range(3)):
    print(f"we are at: {i}")
    x = input("Type something")
    # x = Prompt.ask("Type something")
    print(f"You typed: {x}")
    sleep(1)

I tried using both input() and Prompt.ask()

The output while using input() is -

$ python test.py 
we are at: 0

Did I solve your problem?

Why not buy the devs a coffee to say thanks?

What would you suggest if the action wrapped by a progress bar isnโ€™t controllable? Such as a program to clone a git URL that may or may not require inputs of credentials. In fact the prompt is raised by git and we canโ€™t know when to pause it at.
