Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.0

Other Software

git bash

Steps to reproduce

It seems to happen more frequently when I call programs that generate lots of lines of text but it can also happen on a simple ls.

Expected Behavior

The terminal doesn't show empty space as if it was selected (or white ?)

Actual Behavior

The terminal sometimes shows empty space as if it was selected. Sometimes every new white space / space after a line return ? becomes white after the bug triggers and you need to shutdown the terminal and start another to get rid of the display bug.

Do you happen to have any more specific repro steps? "It happens sometimes" doesn't really give us a lot to work with.

  • What types of programs specifically?
  • Are you resizing the Terminal at all?

"it can also happen on a simple ls" would be a great place to start, if you can get it to happen consistently.

This does look vaguely like #3848 (and the threads that are dupe'd to that one), but it's almost impossible to say for sure.

The program doesn't seem to matter.
I had it happen in vim, with make, with ls or any program really.

I am not resizing the terminal.

I will do more tests. It happens frequently on my machine.
One intuition I want to verify is if the white lines start to appear when the output text reaches the last line of the terminal.

This does indeed look like #3848, or maybe more like #8823

Couldn't get the bug to happen yesterday. I'll retry this weekend.

Hi @grandemk I am also seeing this issue on the windows terminal. Were you able to solve this? I have to clear the screen each time this happens.
