doesn't work on macOS High Sierra #30

users of STS report that this doesn't work on the just released macOS High Sierra. The output shows up as blank, although the characters are there.

Unfortunately I don't have a machine that I can update to High Sierra. I will find someone who has one that I can use.

I can think of some experiments meantime...

  1. For instance print to stderr In Java System.err.println("This should go to stderr"); That should be red. Is it?

  2. Install Grep Console https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/grep-console Does it work?

  3. I can put together a really minimal plugin that writes a colored "this is RED GREEN BLUE text" to the console and see if that works. Bypassing all the escape interpretation and all.

====

I highly suspect there is nothing wrong with the plugin though, but with the OS itself ()

if i turn on showing the escape sequences in the preferences, the log lines start rendering again.

Meantime I've updated to High Sierra and checked, it is all good.
