CLIs generally aren't highly dynamic and offer only limited screen-addressability. It's possible though for, say, a rapidly updating CLI list to get away from you.
The other element, though, is that your selector point in a CLI is very frequently (though not always) keyboard-driven, and tends to stay with the item it's on, rather than drift up or down as elements are added or removed other than by direct user control.
