🔒 Does Urwid's BigText break on tty, on vertical screens, or is there something I need to do prior?

[rapid flame]

So I'm having trouble with urwid and its BigText object. On Windows, it works well; on Linux however, somehow it doesn't on tty. I have an Arch Linux installation on a remote tablet computer currently acting as a Bluetooth receiver for our old home theater speaker set and was planning to make a simple yet informative interface. Unfortunately, even a simple clock with urwid won't show up properly on the screen (here's a screenshot of it from PuTTY; the contents shown are viewed from the tablet via screen).

Any clue why this happened? Is there something I need to do first? And does this happen a lot on tty, or is it because it can't handle vertical screens despite working on Windows with the same terminal size (cols=100, lines=80)?

clock code is from this repo i found to build it off from: urwid_clock by romainh3nry
