- OS Version: macOS 15.7, Darwin arm64 24.6.0
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a project in VS Code.
- Start the project from the integrated terminal using a Node.js process.
- Leave the project running for some time.
- Observe that the integrated terminal starts showing stale colored rendering artifacts.
Expected:
The integrated terminal should only display the current terminal buffer and should not leave stale colored blocks or floating characters in the viewport.
Actual:
The integrated terminal intermittently shows stale red blocks/lines and a floating yellow character after the project has been running for a while. In the screenshot, two node terminals are open and the terminal panel shows red rectangular artifacts on the left and near the terminal split area, plus a small yellow 5 near the top center of the terminal viewport.
Additional context:
This does not appear to be caused by extensions. I do not yet have a minimal deterministic reproduction case because the issue appears after the project has been running for a while.
