No output in VS Code debug console because Width/Height detected as -1

[fxkr]

package main

import (
	"github.com/buger/goterm"
)

func main() {
	println("before")
	goterm.Println("foo")
	goterm.Flush()
	println("after", goterm.Width(), goterm.Height())
}

Works if I start the program manually in a regular VS Code terminal (or any terminal really):

Doesnt work if I run it via a VS Code launch config, where the output will go into the VS Code debug console. Notice Width/Height is -1, and the text printed by goterm is missing

The root cause is that goterm limits its output to the detected Width/Height,

My expectation would be for goterm to handle -1/-1 by disabling row/col limits.

I realized my use case (redraw the screen with new data every 1 sec) is so simple I don't really need goterm. So I switched to just printing the clear screen escape code and then the data. In the debug console, all the screens will appear in sequence which is acceptable when debugging. In a real terminal, I get the single fullscreen of data behavior I want.

I noticed the VS code debug terminal doesn't seem to support escape codes at all. For my usecase, disabling row/col limits would have worked. I am not entirely sure if that would be the right behavior for goterm. Not ideal, but better than no output at all? I'll leave this issue open for awareness that -1/-1 can happen. I won't object if you just close it.
