In a dumb terminal, the problem is that there is no way to go back to a previous line. Honestly, I do not want to support dumb terminals. They are rarely used nowadays, even though the maintenance cost of an independent menu interface is quite high. Today, even fancy serial terminals are also disappearing. Since most embedded systems have ethernet interfaces, the future will be net console rather than serial console.
