Can you share your settings.json as well as open devtools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools) and type window.devicePixelRatio in the console?

[luwol03]

Thats strange. If I remove all my settings in the settings.json (leave only {}) the terminal is showing fine. Also if I revert it back to my settings the termianal is still fine. But if I restart. Same issue, terminal is blurry. And if I restart without any settings blurry terminal.

EDIT: By changing the settings to {} I trigger a kind of rerender which fixes the current blurry ones. Because if I open new terminals they are blurry and I have to trigger the rerender again.

Strange, I haven't seen this reported before and not really sure what would be causing it. Resizing the terminal by dragging the panel would probably also fix the issue in the same way.

[luwol03]

no, resizing does not fix it.

EDIT: the developer: reload window also tiggers such a rerender.

this are the only errors/warnings in the console

System restart also doesn't fixed the terminal.

I used the uninstaller and reinstalled vscode-insiders. Same issue. Is there a way to get older vscode-inders builds?

[luwol03]

I still have this problem. Any idea how I can fix or debug this? I tried to fresh install it on my pc but it didn't fixed it.

Since the following version, an reload doesn't fix the bug temporarily. So for now the only fix for me is to remove and paste again all config.

The input issue should be fixed in today's build, it was related to the Electron 12 update.

Hello, thank you very much for taking care of it. Unfortunately, the problem is not fixed. Now I can write and fix it with a reload of the window again. It's back to the way it was at the beginning.

Looks like some GPU issue on your machine. One of these should fix it:

• Launching with code --disable-gpu
• Setting "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off"

Thank you so much, you have saved my favorite editor :D Now it works fine.
