How to Resolve poorly formatted ACLI help action in RHEL

The Atlassian Command Line Interface (ACLI) help output can sometimes appear poorly formatted when running the --help action on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating systems. This typically occurs when the default table style is not compatible with the terminal's display settings, leading to misaligned columns or unreadable text.
