[BUG]Passing Console() to RichHandler() interrupts Progress/track when logging

[marcelzwiers]

• [x ] I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions. This may be related to issue Why this happening when i set: RichHandler(console=Console()) #3238
• [ x] I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug
I cannot get RichHandler to work when passing a console, in conjunction with Progress()/track(). I would also be happy if I could pass theme=Theme(..) to RichHandler().

Platform
Konsole terminal on OpenSuse Linux, Python = 3.13

You will need to use the same console object for both RichHandler and track. Both have a console parameter.

[marcelzwiers]

Great, that does it! I love rich, keep up the good work :-)

[marcelzwiers]

As a sidenote, as a user I had expected that track/Progress would just take the console that I had passed to RichHandler. Why isn't that the default behaviour?
