'Staircase' visual effect in shutdown messages
As an Arch Linux user reports here, there is some reason to think that Plymouth is to blame for console messages taking the following strange form, reminscent of the steps on a staircase, at system shutdown
line 1
line 2 line 3
I have Linux Mint 19.1 x64 Cinnamon and I see the same pattern. (I do know how to turn off such messages completely. That is not what I want. A nice orderly, 'no-staircase' display is what I am after - and it seems reasonable to expect that.)
