Issue

639 describes issues with blessed, but that looks like it was an issue with rendering of braille characters, which was fixed. I'm seeing a lot of issues with rendering webpack-dashboard (another blessed app).

Running webpack-dashboard -- webpack-dev-server in Terminal.app:

Running the same command in Hyper:

It seems to be a whitespace issue -- blessed allows a custom fill character for boxes, it defaults to whitespace which does not render properly in hyper. Switching to any other character has much better results.

If I make the window wide enough that nothing has to wrap inside the boxes, it looks a bit better, but still not right

I'm experiencing the same with the react-blessed dashboard demo

I think vtop also has this issue, the layout just disintegrates bit by bit over time

So is this a Hyper issue or a blessed issue鈥攁nd is there any way to patch in user-land?

Given that this works properly in other terminal apps, I think it's safe to call this a Hyper issue.

For information, the same behaviour happens with pm2 with something like pm2 listor pm2 monit.

Hey there, please try again with the new Hyper v2 release and open a new issue if the problem stills exists. Thank you!
