Steps to reproduce

On OSX

1..20 |%{ $null = Invoke-WebRequest 'https://www.google.com'; Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250 }

Expected behavior

Progress/status is written for each request, in a static location.

Actual behavior

Progress/status appears to shift over by 3 or 4 columns after each request, leading to "drift" to the right.

This, coupled with #1625, causes significant usability issues for scripts that are doing repeated web requests, e.g. to process paginated API responses.

Impact would be lessened if there was a way to disable progress from Invoke-WebRequest but AFAIK that is not possible.
