ProgressMonitor::Stringify::AbstractMonitor - A reusable/abstract monitor implementation that deals in stringified feedback.
This is an abstract base class for monitors that will render their result as a string through the use of 'fields' (see the Fields packages).
Configuration data:
The monitor should have this maxWidth. The actual width used may be less. This depends on the fields it uses; specifically, if dynamic fields are used, they will be given width until all is used or until the dynamic fields themselves have reached their maxWidth if any.
If the maxWidth is too small to handle the minimum requirements for all fields the allowOverflow setting controls whether the rendition causes linewrapping or if it's just cut.
allowOverflow
If set to true and maxWidth is exceeded, linewrapping will occur for a possibly ugly display. If set to false, the rendition will be cut to avoid linewrapping, for a possible loss of important information.
An array ref with field instances.
An identifiers that describes how messages should be inserted into the rendition:
Not surprisingly, this suppresses message presentation.
This will cause the message to overlay one or more of the other fields, so as to keep things on one line. This setting will work in conjunction with messageTimeout, messageOverlayStartField and messageOverlayEndField.
This will cause the message and a newline to be inserted in front of the regular rendition, causing the running rendition to be 'pushed' forward.
This will combine the effects of 'overlay' and 'newline'.
If the message is too short for the allotted space, it will be filled with this character. Can be set to the empty string or undef to skip filling, causing a 'partial overlay', i.e. just as much as the string is, which obviously can give a confusing mixed message with the underlying field.
This is only relevant for the 'overlay' strategy. If the code doesn't explicitly set the message to undef/blank, the timeout will automatically remove it. Set to -1 for infinite.
Together these define the starting and ending field number that the message should overlay. This defaults to 'all fields'.
Embedded/trailing newlines will be converted to this string for the 'overlay' and 'overlay_newline' strategies.
Contains the logic to assemble the fields into a current string.

I wouldn't be surprised! If you can come up with a minimal test that shows the problem I might be able to take a look. Even better, send me a patch.
