beause i have to check this marks before I can send it... I checked it, nut not true...

Also happens on other devices.. also error on GitHub Codespaces..
But on my resetted Server to 4.8.3 everything works fine..
jsjoeio commentedon Jan 23, 2023
What happens if you open 4.9.1 in an incognito window?
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 23, 2023
still the same behavior also in different Browsers and on different devices and different OS...
... with 4.9.1 and Codespaces

If it happens in Codespaces we might benefit from reporting upstream.

@Dionysos211 Can you reproduce this on my reference deployment?
R (jupyterlab/r/verse:latest)👉 If the server does not start the first time, simply give it another try.
benz0li commentedon Jan 28, 2023
@Dionysos211 What have you set "Terminal > Integrated: Gpu acceleration" (
terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration) to?Maybe related to:
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
Hi,
I have now tried this once.
Unfortunately, the same error picture appears.
The terminal shows up with artifacts and you don't have the possibility to enter anything.
I have posted a screenshot for comparison:
Left: My server, where everything still works under version 4.8.3
Middle: Your JupiterLab server, where the error occurs.
Right: The GitHub Codespace server where the error also occurs.
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
Hi,
in all my test scenarios the setting of:
"Terminal > Integrated: Gpu acceleration".
was set to "Auto".
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
mhm sorry @code-asher but, what do you mean with: "reporting upstream"
benz0li commentedon Jan 31, 2023
When I open it in Safari, the problem is not showing up:
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
hmm @benz0li, yes i see it...
unfortunately on my system it looks like shown in the screenshot.
And if I mark the lines in the terminal and copy them into a Editor I get the following:
[powerlevel10k] fetching gitstatusd .. [ok]
╭─ ~/projects ···························································································································· ✔ 15:51:40
╰─
but as you can see in the screenshot it is not visible...

This problem is rather caused by your setup and/or browser than my reference deployment or GitHub Codespaces.
Unfortunately I can't help you any further. It may be a good idea to look for errors in the browser's console.
👉 Safari: Develop > Show Web Inspector; Firefox: Tools > Browser Tools > Web Developer Tools
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
ok @benz0li but why is everything running normally on my server with version 4.8.3 in the same browser with the same settings.
And when I updated my server to the latest version (I guess as the same on Codespace&Jupiterlab), I had the same problem on my server.
benz0li commentedon Jan 31, 2023
I don't know.
Please check the browser's console output for errors.
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
@benz0li here is the Console output, when I open a new Terminal Window
edit: with filter off, there is also:

@Dionysos211 Try disabling GPU acceleration.
Cross reference: microsoft/vscode#163448 (comment)
Dionysos211 commentedon Jan 31, 2023
@benz0li ok wow that worked, change from auto to off... but why xD (canvas mode did not worked)
benz0li commentedon Jan 31, 2023
@Dionysos211 Gern geschehen!
benz0li commentedon Feb 1, 2023
@Dionysos211 If this resolves your problem, please close the issue.
Thank you.

Sorry, was out last week. Just for reference upstream is https://github.com/microsoft/vscode (thank you @benz0li for linking the issue upstream).
Generally bugs that can be reproduced in Codespaces can be reported there since it means code-server is not involved (basically we just wrap VS Code web which is what Codespaces is running).
Glad you got it sorted! Not sure why it worked in 4.8.3, hopefully the upstream issue gets it fixed.
