Visual Studio Code – Terminal covered with black area

I am using Visual Studio Code, version 1.8.0 and when I try to open new terminal from vscode I am seeing this black area covering part of it:
enter image description here

Seems like I can run commands from the terminal and get errors as well, for example after running npm install command :

As you can see in the above picture, the mouse cursor is moving down a bit as I would expect from running some command (due to the output of the command), but the black area covers any visible text.

Things I have done so far:

  • Checked the solutions for similar (but not the same) question, Visual Studio Code – Terminal Blank Screen but non of them worked for me
  • Reload vscode
  • check for updates (currently there are no updates available)
  • Tried to open the new cmd / bash / PowerShell / git bash / command prompt terminals but the problem remains with every one of them.
  • Run the same command from an external terminal (not the one integrated into vscode), the external terminal worked well.

How do I remove this black area?

    After updating vsc to Version: 1.80.1 the problem seems to solved.

    In this new vsc version I don't see the problem anymore.

    The issue can be temporarily fixed by putting the following in your settings.json file:

    "terminal.integrated.enableImages": false
