Jup i've seen this earlier,
May i ask which shell do you use?

For me only cmd and powershell seems to work fine.

Use the cmd.exe, version: Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.14393]

[jesseduffield]

is it possible this is a font issue?

[zQueal]

This is a cmd issue. Using the new experimental terminal things work wonderfully.

[mjarkk]

@zQueal I don't think so because i've used it before on cmd and as far as i know the new windows terminal uses the same api as the normal cmd,
@VKingi do you have any customization made to your cmd shell like setting another encoding or something else?

[zQueal]

It does use the same API, however, when you update to the experimental terminal you download an update from Windows Update, IIRC.

I had tried lazygit a few months ago with an older version of windows and got the same issues. I updated, still the same issues. I downloaded the new terminal, and all of a sudden, after restarting and installing updates, it's working perfectly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure what the issue is, however, the only thing changed in my environment between yesterday (non-working) and today (working) is installing the new terminal and a new windows update upon rebooting.

I've just installed a fresh copy of windows and tried it out but works just fine with cmd:

But can we conclude this to, just update windows and it will magically work?

Not a guarantee, but that seems to be what happened. As I said before, yesterday it wasn't working correctly, I updated, and now it is.

@jesseduffield ## Layout error, should not be the font problem:

1. The default font I use
2. Tried to modify the font to solve this problem, but failed
3. No changes have been made to cmd.exe, using the default configuration

But when submitting a message, the input text problem seems to find a pattern:

When I try to type the word 'This', first I type 'T' and it doesn't show 'T', then I type 'h' and it shows 'T', then I type' I 'and it shows 'h'...When I type on the keyboard it displays the previous key value each time

@mjarkk No changes have been made to cmd.exe, using the default configuration.May I ask what is the system version of the new copy you installed? I plan to upgrade the system, because the current system version is a little old
The mirror currently used: windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x64_dvd_9060409.iso

@zQueal @mjarkk If "cmd.exe" is not normal at first, but a new terminal is installed, which is normal in the new terminal, it is likely to be related to the same width font

[VKingi]

@mjarkk @jesseduffield @zQueal Thanks for your help. Now I can make it display normally!It's probably the font

[zQueal]

I'm going to guess that the windows update changed the default CMD font. Crazy times.
