VSCoode integrated terminal
08:20 01 Apr 2026

Results in terminals appear for fraction of a second, then scroll away and disappear.

  • tried turning off gpu acc

  • tried turning off smoothing

  • tried turning off sticky terminal, terminal history

  • tried running vscode without extensions

  • all terminals do this - bash, powershell, cmd

  • works when I do this in separately opened terminal

I've been trying to resolve this issue for months. Here, I write one of the examples, but over the months, it keeps happening with some commands.

Example:

shopify help

For a fraction of a second, whole response appears and then disappears.

Reponse disappearing in integrated VSCode terminal

When you scroll up and down, there is just a big empty space instead of response. The response is nowhere to be found.

Dumping it into txt gives correct result

shopify help > help.txt

I logged terminal as suggested on Terminal Issues Github Page. Here is the log:

https://gist.github.com/MichaGH/2e1881efe80d26a067860f6a0a0a257a

runnig multiline commands like "seq 1 200" works perfetly, shows them all.

This happens with many commands, many commands - but not all of them!
For example, node -help is very long response, but works flawlessly.

Sometimes, even just running npm run dev on my projects does this - first two lines are visible, others disappear immediately

Please, somebody, help me.
