Steps to Reproduce:

1. running grunt test to run unit testing should produce this output: (here in cmd.exe)

Here is what I got in VSCode integrated terminal:

Note that the first time I ran it, the layout of the prompt was also broken, instead of the cursor directly following the prompt, like:

I was having:

(and I could not move the cursor more on the left)

What's in your settings.json file and was there any errors in the dev tools console?

[warpdesign]

There were no errors in the console.

My settings.json file:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "terminal.integrated.cursorBlinking": true,
    "terminal.integrated.lineHeight": 1.3,
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false,
    "workbench.editor.enablePreviewFromQuickOpen": false,
    "window.openFilesInNewWindow": false,
    "window.reopenFolders": "one",
    "typescript.check.tscVersion": false,
    "workbench.sideBar.location": "left",
    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "workbench.activityBar.visible": true,
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe",
    "terminal.integrated.rightClickCopyPaste": false
}

Here is what the inspector looks like (notice the prompt that seems to get shifted to the right (the begining of the prompt's text is in the previous div). Hope this helps.

More information: this didn't happen with VSCode 1.8.1, but happens with the latest final 1.9 build as well.

Running a simple sudo apt-get install package is enough to trigger the problem:

I have the same issue, when using mocha to test something.
If needed I can add a simple repo to reproduce

Below is my configuration:

• VSCode Version: Code 1.9.0 (27240e7, 2017-02-02T08:31:00.827Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT ia32 10.0.15019

I've noticed that both @waderyan and me are running Windows 10 preview 15019.
I've tried to reproduce it on a normal version of windows 10 and could not. So the fault may be in the preview of windows.

Below is the configuration of my other machine where I could not reproduce the bug

• VSCode Version: Code 1.9.0 (27240e7, 2017-02-02T08:31:00.827Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT ia32 10.0.14393

Hope it helps

I'm able to reproduce it on another pc with windows 15019

This could be related to the terminal not printing unicode characters correctly #19763? If you can reproduce what locale are you using? Could you also post a screenshot of VS Code terminal bad output via good output in cmd?

[CaselIT]

My locale is us. The normal terminal works fine

I've noticed that the problem occurs only when the terminal is larger than about 1200px see images:
Here is fine and the terminal is 1208px

here it does not render correctly, the size is 1240px

(my screen size is 1440p, so 2560px horizontally )
Let me know if you need some other tests

[CaselIT]

Also resizing the window horizontally causes multiple times randomly problems
In the output below is should be as in the images in the previous post

[Tyriar]

Do you see the problem only after resizing? Maybe related to #8336
