This is problem when I update AUR package and it show download process.
How do I fix it?
What package?
What command did you type?
It looks like you tried to resize the window while running a yay update.
Try doing the same command using a different terminal, other than Konsole.
I can get a sililat result in Terminal.
Even though the screen is not tabulated, did it complete the process or just keep spewing out unformatted data?
Konsole is a perfectly valid terminal for using yay
. It’s either misconfigured or the issue is somewhere else.

There is open issue for this at the yay issue tracker…
opened 03:42PM - 24 Oct 21 UTC
Type: Enhancement
Status: Confirmed
### Affected Version
`yay v11.0.1 - libalpm v13.0.1` (before the upgrade)
`y… ay v11.0.2 - libalpm v13.0.1` (after)
<!-- Please ensure you are using the latest yay-git package
Use `yay -V` to get installed version
Example: `yay v8.1139.r0.g9ac4ab6 - libalpm v11.0.1` -->
### Describe the bug
When downloading sources for a full system upgrade, output is garbled, but only during the download phase.

### Reproduction Steps
1. `$ yay`
2. Do a full system upgrade where several sources have to be fetched
### Expected behavior
Output for concurrent (if that is it?) downloads should not become mangled and appear as one line per download.
### Output
`yay -Pg`:
```sh
