Text in middle of terminal section blurred since upgrade to 1.45.0

[wivory]

Issue Type: Bug

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use VS Code with terminal window open across bottom (I have 2 editors side by side above).
2. After a short period (under 15 minutes typically), text in the middle of the terminal window goes blurry. Clicking the maximize button (to reduce from full screen to smaller) and again (back to full screen) fixes the problem for a while, then it returns. Very very annoying.

This only started on Monday this week after I upgraded to 1.45.0.

VS Code version: Code 1.45.0 (d69a79b, 2020-05-07T16:10:24.511Z)
OS version: Linux x64 4.15.0-99-generic

Please provide a screenshot of a gif illustrating the problem. See this wiki page for more general info on how to report actionable terminal issues.

Hope PNG is ok - have attached 2 screenshots, one of which show fuzzy text in the terminal window (half way along top of terminal is worst). Minimising and restoring doesn't fix it; switching from full screen to reduced size and back does.

@wivory attaching via email doesn't work on github, you need to go to github.com for that.

OK – will need to wait until I’m back at work on Monday then.

Adding 2 screenshots. Look at the middle of the top line of the terminal section of the screen and you should be able to see that it's somewhat out of focus in one. Note in addition to my initial comments that minimising / back to full screen doesn't solve the problem - it's only when you resize the window (eg toggle the maximise button) that fixes it.

Can you share your settings.json? Try changing your terminal.integrated.rendererType

[wivory]

Workaround is to use the setting "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "dom"

[wivory]

Thanks - that appears to have fixed the problem. Regards, William

While still waiting on a fix for the original problem, I've updated from 1.48 to 1.50 (1.49 had a different bug I was avoiding until fixed), and now find that the search box is permanently out of focus. Does this need a separate bug? It's really annoying, doesn't clear (even temporarily) if I resize the window, so it's back to 1.48, again.

[Tyriar]

@wivory yes that looks like a different thing, probably related to Electron so you could search the issues for electron/blurry.

Another potential workaround is to make sure window.zoomLevel is set to 0 and change the editor/terminal text size manually.

Upgraded to 1.56 today. Problem is back as it seems the rendererType option is now greyed out in settings.json and doesn't work. Coming up to a year after I first filed this )-:

[Tyriar]

@wivory it changed to: "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off"

Let's track this in #85154
