The Write method currently only appends text:

github.com/mum4k/termdash@34fe013ca6/widgets/text/text.go (L101)

If the user wants to replace the content they need to call Reset followed by Write.
github.com/mum4k/termdash@34fe013ca6/widgets/text/text.go (L82)

This is racy as a redraw might happen in between. We should provide an option that when provided will change the behavior of Write to atomically Reset+Write.
