The terminal's rendering seems to have less weight?

I'm having similar issue with Version 1.17.1 (1.17.1) on macOS Sierra 10.12.6

The terminal font looks a little bit blurry and squeezed compared to the editor font:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Menlo",
"terminal.integrated.lineHeight": 1.4,

I'm having the same issue. Only in the latest version though. This wasn't a problem for me in v1.17.

The font renders fine again, but I still got this issue on macOS Sierra where the character under the cursor gets pushed up in the first line of the terminal:

It only happens when I'm in the first line, i. e., after opening the terminal or running clear. Anyone else with this? Could not find an open issue for it.

It does not occur for me, I'm using pure prompt as well.

Happens with other prompts as well... how far the character gets pushed up depends on the line the cursor is in:

From line six on the currently selected character is invisible (which is probably why I thought it was only in the first line).

This didn't happen before updating to 1.17.1. Here is my current info:

  • VSCode Version: Code 1.17.2 (b813d12, 2017-10-16T13:47:41.889Z)
  • OS Version: Darwin x64 16.7.0
  • Reproduces without extensions: Yes

@simonhaenisch I cannot repro on Sierra. Can you create a new issue and include your settings.json file?

@Tyriar which was the font used by error in the Terminal? I actually liked it a lot and would like to set it again.
