VS Code cursor bug in terminal

Cursor repeating and remaining in the Integrated Terminal in VS Code

screenshot of VS Code

I encountered this bug in my terminal while doing Python tutorial so downloaded and reinstalled the same version (latest version of VS Code) but the problem persists. I looked about for some answers but only found this tutorial which is not related.

Anyway, I reinstalled the software only to find the bug was still present. The code runs but the cursor is an obstruction. From time to time I may type in the wrong execution so it’s a bit of a bother.

Answer

Turned off GPU acceleration in the Terminal of VS Code. That has seemed to resolve the matter; No longer cursor trails.

Settings > Type ‘Render’ > Go to

Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration.

Setting controls whether the terminal will leverage the GPU to do its rendering.

Switch ‘off’ in dropdown menu
