Screenshots as applicable

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run termshark without any arguments

Context

Bash shell.

I've tried termshark on archlinux in WSL2, a real archlinux and ubuntu.

I use them through ssh.

In archlinux, TUI just broken like screenshots above.

BUT when I use ssh to connect to an ubuntu, and run termshark on it, it looks fine, even thought ssh runs on archlinux.

So I think there must be something wrong with termshark on archlinux, and it's not the terminal's problem, because termshark runs well throught ssh.

According to #126, I've tried export TERM=xterm-256color, but not thing changed.
