Terminus: Tab content disappears when switching tabs

[helloxz]

Please see the screenshot below.

I have same issue using 1.0.73. Switching between Windows temporary loses content.

Switching back and forth again sometimes renders the previous content. Hitting enter will restore contents as well.

At times I have trouble duplicating the issue.

my config.yaml (minus ssh context)

hotkeys:
  shell:
    clink: []
    powershell:
      - - Ctrl-Alt-P
    cmd:
      - - Ctrl-Alt-C
  profile: {}
terminal:
  environment: {}
  colorScheme:
    name: Material
    foreground: '#eceff1'
    background: 'rgba(38, 50, 56, 1)'
    cursor: '#FFCC00'
    colors:
      - '#000000'
      - '#D62341'
      - '#9ECE58'
      - '#FAED70'
      - '#396FE2'
      - '#BB80B3'
      - '#2DDAFD'
      - '#d0d0d0'
      - 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)'
      - '#FF5370'
      - '#C3E88D'
      - '#FFCB6B'
      - '#82AAFF'
      - '#C792EA'
      - '#89DDFF'
      - '#ffffff'
  shell: wsl
  useConPTY: false
  rightClick: paste
  copyOnSelect: true
appearance: {}

Same here

Same issue with Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04.

Same in Alpha 79

I've seen this behavior improve when I have settings tab open or developer console open and resize the window once or twice on Windows 10 (resizing without using window manager hotkeys, but using the cursor to resize). Makes me wonder if it's something wrong with the underlying framework more-so than the Terminus app code itself. :\

Pushed a potential fix - please give it a try with a nightly build!

[thomasem]

@Eugeny still seeing issue with nightly build (1.0.82-c27-g76b81f8). Thanks for looking into this, by the way!

Few returns in tab 2 and made a new tab 3:

Switched back to tab 2 via hotkey:

Switching the front-end implementation from 'xterm' to 'hterm' does fix the issue. But does I don't know if it might cause problems afterwards.
App: Terminus 1.0.82
Env: Windows 10

@Tahmeed156 That's interesting. I also switched to hterm and seem to not be having the problem anymore. Will report back if I notice anything odd. At least seems like a decent workaround! Thank you!

Selecting Settings | Appearance | xterm (WebGL) seems to solve the issue.

Hello, I got some trouble, would you help me? When I ssh to a server and use ctrl-r to seach the command history, it doesn't work. Do you know how to solve this problem?

[whyboris]

Confirming I had the same problem on Mac OSX 10.13.6 and _Terminus_ Alpha 85
Switching to hterm or xterm (WebGL) fromxterm` (Settings | Appearance | Frontend) fixed the issue ✅

[WhiteGreeny]

same in alpha 85

[Eugeny]

Just added another potential fix - please check the nightly build once it's ready

[Jaeiya]

I just tried the latest nightly build and switching tabs seems to be fixed for me. Now I can actually test this program out 😄

[thomasem]

Latest nightly does appear to work! Neat. :)

[Eugeny]

Thanks! Let me know if anyone sees this again
