      When I open a terminal it looks like this:
      2020_09_30_13_31_09_Terminal.png

      It's not my dark background and light text extension for sure, as I disabled it and it still happens.
      Not sure what else could be causing this.

        Not happening for me, on MacOS, with Firefox latest.

        Is it happening only for this one app, or for all of them ?

          It's on all of the apps. I have to switch to another browser to see what I'm doing.

          I can type out commands just fine but output is all garbled.

          The file manager also doesn't display contents of files when clicked on. blank screen. Probably related.

            These might be two different issues I think. The filemanager uses the monaco text editor, while the terminal is using xtermjs.

            For the terminal, this could be a regression since the last update to the latest xtermjs version. Anyways would be good if you could triage this first to see which OS/browser combination is affected. At least I cannot reproduce this here for a proper bug report upstream.

            Issues would be at https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues

            Since you mention Firefox on Win10, they enabled webrender there, so one test could be to go into about:config and set gfx.webrender.all to false, then restart the browser and check the terminal again.

              This is already set to false.

                So, is it garbled on all browsers or just Firefox latest? What does latest mean (doesn't about:config show some version?)

                  Since I had just updated FF to 81.0 it's the latest.

                  Now there looks to be 81.0.1 and will try it out.

                    Quite happy with FF Nightly and the new WebRender Experimental setting, seems to be faster. Dunno if it helps here but might help to see if it's fixed in up-coming versions or not.

                      I had the exact same Firefox problem, but solved it by allowing my.example.com the "extract canvas data" permission.

                            it seems that after an update, this setting is now set, so no more issue.

                            The icon looks like a circle+line over a line+circle.

                            o--
                            --o
