Terminal text is blur

[kevinah95]

• VSCode Version: 1.17.0
• OS Version: macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run some routine into vscode terminal. Notice the terminal text is blur in bottom area:

2. When maximize the window, terminal re-render the text and fix the blurring text:

3. I use Nord Theme but disabled and produced the same blur effect:

Reproduces without extensions: Yes/No

I believe this is tracked in xtermjs/xterm.js#985

Are you at window.zoomLevel: 1 by chance?

[kevinah95]

I use this setting:

{
    "vsicons.projectDetection.autoReload": true,
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code'",
    "editor.fontSize": 12,
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "window.zoomLevel": -1,
    "todohighlight.isEnable": false,
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Nord",
    "typescript.check.npmIsInstalled": false
}

But with your suggestion the blur disappear

Yeah setting zoomLevel to 0 should fix this. Will keep this open until
xtermjs/xterm.js#985 is fixed.

I have similar problem though it is more visible on my laptop monitor. I just upgraded from 1.17 to 1.17.1 - everything was OK before the update. Before the update, the terminal window had the same quality as the code window above:

+1, this is using Input Mono @14px:

For the issue in 1.17.1 when window.zoomLevel is 0, that is tracked in #35991

Oh thank god, thought I was tripping when my terminal text was looking different, I can confirm I use zoomLevel -1 too.

With zoomLevel of 0, which I've been using, it's still blurry but better than -1.

Mine is still blurry at zoomLevel 0

Duplicated and fixed, see #35991

Going to close this off as a duplicate of #35991 as I believe that's what the OP was experiencing.

xtermjs/xterm.js#985 is still being tracked upstream which sees some rows be blurry at certain zoom levels.
