what is causing these weird gaps and other colors to load in the claymore console?

This is how claymore work

ive never seen that on my other system. claymore does that on your system? a gap all the way down the prompt and different colors on the text that should be 1 color...like the fan are purple, then 1 part of the text is light blue?
No, only blue, green and white, not pink because I use the motherboard display not the card to have a total hashrate of first card, so I do not see the speed of the fan or tempe of the GPU, try to use another version of claymore, I use claymore V8.1
im using claymore 9.7 on 2 systems. the 1 system works fine, no issues. second one is doing this off colored text and spacing between text. its coming and going. not constant.
