5 b127 - Console letters disappear when a key is hit - ID: 1578816

Last Update: Settings changed ( bozho )

Details:

I'm using the attached configuration file. If I type
something, Console gets blank without any letter. If I
click on Console, then everything seems to be OK except
the fact that I can not see anything when typing but
the cursor.

I did not see that before when using previous versions.

Date: 2007-04-13 21:37 Sender: bozho baxissimo, try disabling cleartype and see what happens
Date: 2007-04-10 01:50 Sender: baxissimo This happens to me sometimes too. Like everyone else I'm not sure what to do to reproduce it consistently. I seem to have more problems on my laptop though, which has cleartype. (That also leads to a lot of bit turds on the screen, but that's a separate issue.)
Date: 2007-01-10 23:37 Sender: dglenny Using the vanilla b129 causes all characters to disappear on a semi-random basis. It can occur immediately or after a few minutes or seconds. Seems to happen when I push T, but I'm sure that's just co-incidence :) Also, opening another tab doesn't resolve it - the same issue (invisible characters) happens on that, too. Only way to fix it is to quit and restart. This is extremely annoying. Console 1.5 doesn't have this problem.

Date: 2006-10-20 21:18 Sender: bozho Logged In: YES user_id=16767 The only change I can think of is the bitmap allocation fallback mechanism that could break things, but I'm not sure how. I will try to prepare two versions of Console.exe for you guys to try...
Date: 2006-10-20 20:30 Sender: atomhrt Logged In: YES user_id=1026237 I forgot to mention that when this happens, the hidden cmd window looks fine, whereas the console program has blanked out chars.
Date: 2006-10-20 20:28 Sender: atomhrt Logged In: YES user_id=1026237 Whaa? Update our video drivers?? LOL I actually had this occur a lot on a console running the fading block cursor today. It did not start until I had been using the program for quite a while. This problem may also be associated with that fix that you made for batch files that contained & (ampersand characters for redirection). I am now going to use the xterm cursor for an extended length of time to see if the problem does not re-occur.
Date: 2006-10-20 19:53 Sender: bozho Logged In: YES user_id=16767 Please try 2 more things: Update your video card driver. Try running Console without transparency and background bitmaps (just plain black background)
Date: 2006-10-19 18:30 Sender: atomhrt Logged In: YES user_id=1026237 Arrrg! I am having issues re-creating this. I switched to the xterm cursor and it did not happen. I switched back to the fading block and it has not happened! I will have to wait for the next occurrence. Yes, I was using the b127 console.xml, I always do... I will check the hidden window next time it happens. I am using transparent backgrounds with two consoles running with each console having at least two tabs open.
Date: 2006-10-19 15:35 Sender: atomhrt Logged In: YES user_id=1026237 I second this bug. It seems to be a screen buffer problem and is difficult to reproduce but happens often. I have seen it just blank out parts of the screen until a return is entered. It seems to happen quite a bit when using robocopy. I will try using a different cursor as suggested.
Date: 2006-10-19 04:22 Sender: elviin Logged In: YES user_id=1472811 Maybe it is caused by the fading cursor. If I'm right it was the default value in the zip archive. I have changed it to the XTerm one. Every time I configure a default configuration file supplied with the newest build. I'll let you know as soon as I find that cursor style matters.
Date: 2006-10-18 16:54 Sender: bozho Logged In: YES user_id=16767 I cannot reproduce this here... What does hidden console show? Did you try with the console.xml supplied with b127?
