Slight text blur on integrated console resize

[gfvandehei]

• VSCode Version: 1.25.1
• OS Version: Windows 10 pro 10.0.17134 build 17134

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VSCode and snap window to left side of screen .
2. Create/open integrated terminal instance, tested with WSL bash, Powershell, cp.
3. Resize shell to around 5% of screen height.
4. Should see slight blur in text toward center of shell instance.

Note: problem does not appear on certain window sizes.
-Tested to appear at 1920*1080 snap to left or right half of screen, and snap to corner (1/4 screen).
-Tested to NOT appear when vscode is a free floating window.

Expected: text in console clear and sharp.
Result: text in console blurry.

Animation of issue included,

The slight blur can be very uncomfortable to look at for long periods of time.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I think you're hitting xtermjs/xterm.js#985

I think here you can see more clearly how font-height jumps, depending on a terminal height.
It depends only on terminal height and width, and completely unrelated to main window.

I'm having this issue as well, even without resizing the terminal window.
