This is added to the "frequently asked question" list
Is this really a frequently asked question ?
aka does this actually happen in real use cases with current FFmpeg?

iam asking as iam interrested in investigating this if it does happen
to see if it can be avoided.
Messing up the terminal is pretty bad as many users probably dont know
what/why and how to fix it and only few would read the faq/docs.
I sure dont go hunt through docs if some application misbehaves.
i tend to just uninstall such applications and use a different
application if i have the choice
