WezTerm version

20240203-110809-5046fc22

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

I am on nixos and have been using wezterm for the past year.
I recently rebuild my system and i came across this issue.
Here is the screenshot below:

As you can see everything is highlighted by default and I can't clearly see the command that I am typing in.

To Reproduce

After specifying wezterm as a package to be installed in your configuration use the command nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .

Configuration

-- Generated by Home Manager.
-- See https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/

local wezterm = require 'wezterm';

return {
  color_scheme = "tokyonight",
  font = wezterm.font("JetBrainsMono Nerd Font", { weight = "Regular" }),
  font_size = 12,
  window_decorations = "NONE",
  window_background_opacity = 0.85,
  hide_tab_bar_if_only_one_tab = true,
  tab_bar_at_bottom = true,
  audible_bell = "Disabled",
  cursor_blink_rate = 0,
  text_blink_rate = 0,
  keys = {
    { key="f", mods="CTRL|SHIFT", action="ToggleFullScreen" },
  },
  window_padding = {
    top = 0, bottom = 0,
    left = 0, right = 0,
  },
}

Expected Behavior

Show clear terminal without highlights

I've been experiencing this issue myself, great to know it's not just me

I am experiencing this both on my personal machine running NixOS on an Apple Silicon M1 Pro, as well as my work machine running MacOS on an Apple Silicon M2 Max.

@Turmaxx I think we can trace this to having something to do with the version that is packaged in nixpkgs, as on the work machine while I experienced the issue installing via Nix, I was able to install the exact same version (according to wezterm --version) via Homebrew, and I did not experience the issue

EDIT: Looks like this may be a duplicate, as eventually I stumbled upon this: #5990
Have you tried the workaround setting front_end = "WebGpu" ?

[Turmaxx]

I have tried front_end = "WebGpu". It worked. I'll check out the issue you linked to see if this is a temporary solution of a permanent one and more about this issue.

Thanks @347Online.
