Text pasted has white background on white

[jdsimcoe]

When I paste any text in to Hyper.app the pasted text shows white background on white:

I have no plugins.

[flybayer]

Does this still happen if you temporarily comment out all of your custom configuration and plugins?

[dennisroethig]

fwiw I saw that behaviour too a few times, after trying to replicate it and restarting Hyper multiple times it seems to be fine now ¯(ツ)/¯

[iamstarkov]

have seen this today

[jdsimcoe]

@flybayer I commented everything out and it still happens.

[muescha]

the white on white in nano editor (#838) is without any plugin enabled. a fresh install

[timothyis]

@muescha I can reproduce.

[jessemillar]

I can also reproduce. If I change my foregroundColor to be partially transparent (e.g. 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75)'), I can at least read the highlighted text, but it's far from perfect.

The same bug can be seen when using vim and selecting white text with the v visual selector.

Edit: I'm using zsh as my shell which is interesting considering @LukasMa's report below.

[lukasmalkmus]

I can reproduce on OS X: Hyper + zsh = NOT OK! Hyper + bash = OK! iTerm2 + zsh = OK! iTerm2 + bash = OK! (No modifications/plugins whatsoever!)

[nicholasruggeri]

Fresh install. White on white in nano editor

[tonybaroneee]

Fresh install, fish shell, macOS Sierra (10.12)

[knownasilya]

Also happens for text like _my test_, which is an issue for markdown files with __my test__ (emphasis). If there was a class on that element, it would be possible to override the style, but no class exists..

[jessemillar]

The lack of classing on highlighted text has been my issue in attempting local mitigation as well...

[LeonBlade]

Fresh install, same problem. I'd rather use vim over nano anyway... but, it also effects pasted text.

[chriscraws]

I ran into this issue using hyper for the first time; both bash and zsh are affected for me.

[ipalindromi]

I am also experiencing this issue after a first time install with zsh on macOS Sierra.

[lordgiotto]

Same issue here with Sierra, hyper 0.8.3 and zsh.

[reneruiz]

Also affected. Sierra, hyper 0.8.3., zsh 5.2

[harryparkdotio]

Same issue here, Sierra: 10.12.1. Hyper: 0.8.3 (0.8.3.873). Also using zsh.

[svenfinke]

Same issue here... Sierra 10.12.1 + Hyper: 0.8.3.873 And I am also using zsh, with the agnostic theme. This makes Hyper pretty much unusable for me atm... 😢

[4cm4k1]

Same issue here.

It’s probably been mentioned before somewhere else, but here’s a temporary workaround until the bug is fixed. Just add the following lines of code in your .hyper.js or by clicking Preferences in the menu bar:

module.exports = {
    config: {
        ...
        // custom css to embed in the terminal window (this comment is in .hyper.js by default)
        // below is temp workaround for nano & copy/paste whiteouts
        termCSS: 'span { background-color: transparent !important; }',
        ...
    }
};

Works for me until it gets fixed. 😀

[ppot]

This doesn't happen to me on resent master

[benjaminprojas]

I just downloaded hyper yesterday for the first time, no plugins, I have this issue when editing the preferences.

[jdsimcoe]

Doesn't happen anymore for me on a recent master build.

[ppot]

@CodeTheory You can mark this solved in resent master!

[ppot]

Fix in #1218

[jakeNiemiec]

This has cropped up again on Hyper+Zsh after the update. The css hack no longer works.

But fear not, you can disable this behavior on the zsh side with unset zle_bracketed_paste. (put this in your .zshrc file: echo 'unset zle_bracketed_paste' >> ~/.zshrc)

[lukasmalkmus]

Same here but with Hyper+fish since the 2.0 release.

[txchen]

Same here with Hyper(2.0) + ZSH. Hope the CSS hack can work again, I don't want to put hack in my .zshrc since I still like the feature.

[cacois]

even with hacking .zshrc, this bug crops up in another place:

Not sure what the context is here, because its not a paste, but that white bar at the bottom looks like this in iTerm2:

[jakeNiemiec]

@timothyis @ppot, please consider reopening this 🙏

[mamakawama]

Same here with Hyper(2.0) + ZSH.

[loftusa]

Having the same problem. Even uninstalled ZSH, bug persists. @timothyis @ppot seconding @jakeNiemiec, please consider reopening

[hugofloss]

Same problem here with a fresh install of Hyper 2.0.0

[srchulo]

I also see this in 2.1.0 stable. Running zsh.

[srchulo]

I see it in vim when I highlight:

[bkjoel]

I got it when searching for "color" inside man ls using hyper and zsh

[lotap]

I also am experiencing this issue when pasting and when create-a-react-app finds a linting error. I was able to "solve" the issue by removing the hyper-transparent plugin. I also noticed when I set opacity to 1 with that plugin installed, everything worked as expected.

OSX 10.14.2 ZSH

[wbsmolen]

Seeing this on Mojave, hyper 2.1.1. Not running zsh. Not using the hyper-transparent plugin. Please consider reopening this.

[reneroth]

Reopen please, Hyper 2.1.2 with zsh

only happening when using a backgroundColor with opacity

[wbsmolen]

@ppot would you consider reopening this? There appear to outstanding problems. I don't want to spam github with duplicate issues

Edit: Thank you @ ppot

[jakeNiemiec]

@chabou @juancampa @rauchg also seem active here and would probably have rights to reopen this issue. I agree with @wbsmolen, there is a lot of good info here that would be lost with a new issue.

Sorry for the ping, I wouldn't be such a pest if this bug wasn't such a constant obstacle. I would've made a PR myself if I had even the slightest idea how to fix this 🤔...I just wish my terminal didn't look like a redacted government document.

Edit: 🎉 Thanks @ ppot

[ohgree]

can reproduce same issue here, with hyper-material-theme plugin, if backgroundOpacity is 1, the problem is not recurring whereas below 1, nano shows white-on-white texts and etc.

[lmcl90]

met this on mojave 10.14.3 and hyper 2.1.2 with hyper-search (0.1.1) and verminal (1.4.3). After set opacity of backgroundColor by 1 or uninstall verminal, everything works fine.

[bkjoel]

Sorry to be such a nag but is there any updates on this issue? anyone maybe had success with quick & dirty fixes other than switching Hyper?

[linonetwo]

@bkjoel You can switch zsh feature off by adding unset zle_bracketed_paste to .zshrc

[ohgree]

@linonetwo It is actually not only about the pasting thing, but every white-backgrounded text, such as nano menus, less (END) text, are all affected by this bug

[linonetwo]

An upstream bug here needs help https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/1898

[reneroth]

for me it's fixed in the newly released v3.0.0

[linonetwo]

I'm excited about the release, but for me, this issue is not fixed. https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/7832

[jakeNiemiec]

It is still present on v3.0.0 for me, here is a visual for reference.
