Isn't that the expected result of the delay in Format-Table to get widths for auto-size?

This is the side effect of the change we made. @LeeHolmes made the initial change so that we can compute more usable column widths based on objects returned within the first 5 seconds.

I thought it was half a second, but either way, we're on the same page 馃憤
Do people want to give up that feature to "fix" this oddness in output?

Actually, it probably was 500ms

Principal of least surprise - output comes in the order it was written.
This doesn't mean giving up the feature, it just means flushing what was buffered before writing the other stream.

This is annoying, but I don't think it's a ship blocker.
