Originally created by @KalleOlaviNiemitalo on GitHub (Sep 4, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.450
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview 1.3.2382.0

The only color setting in my settings.json is "colorScheme": "Campbell" in one profile. Windows is using a light theme.

Steps to reproduce

Unknown. The problem happens occasionally, not every day. I tried opening new tabs, closing the previous tabs, and resizing the window, but that did not help. Then after I took a screen shot with Alt+PrtScr, the background color of the menu returned to correct, even though I had not restarted Windows Terminal Preview or edited settings.json.

Expected behavior

Light background in profile menu:

Actual behavior

Too dark background in profile menu:

If the problem recurs, what should I do to collect information that would help fix it?

This is fascinating!

If you hit this again, can you collect a process dump for WindowsTerminal.exe from task manager? You can stick it on OneDrive & send it to my microsoft address (on my GitHub profile).

If you're not comfortable sharing whatever might be in that dump (including any text in the output buffer, etc.) I understand.

I'm guessing this is in the parts of Windows.UI.Xaml that are not open-source, so local debugging might prove to be an issue.

Hey so for the record, I hit this once before, but when it happened to me, it wasn't Terminal specific - a bunch of the shadows across the system seemed to be at the wrong z-order. I had a thread with the XAML team about this (titled "Shadow on MenuFlyouts?"), but there wasn't really ever a root cause found, since it stopped happening to me and it hasn't happened since.

this also happens to me seemingly at random from time to time, I've noted that it goes away after opening and closing one of the shell menus (start menu, action center)

It happened again, with Windows Terminal Preview Version: 1.5.3242.0 on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]. I then started Task Manager and made a dump file. The problem continued. I started another instance of Windows Terminal Preview, hoping that I'd be able to get a dump file with less proprietary information, but the new instance did not have the problem, and then neither did the original instance.

Holy crap me too. This is crazy consistent on the latest release, but I don't recall seeing it at all in the lead up to the release. Weird. I'm gonna move that to it's own issue, since I'm expecting the issue with the TabViewItem to be different from the one in the menu flyout.

@LuanVSO this is something that's more widespread in Windows 11 builds than it was before. I think this is also tracked over in https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5133, and upstream of even that at MSFT:33411893 which then got duped to MSFT:34432192, which is apparently fixed, but I have no idea how to read the internal build numbers anymore. This might be fixed in 22000.130?

also for linking: #10773, #10741

Okay yea this was MSFT:33411893 which should have been fixed in KB5004300, which I think corresponds to 22000.100. Thanks everyone!

This still happens to me. I'm on 22H2 (Build 19045.2130) [That is Windows 10, for those who wonder].

What can I do to fix this? Someone said this would be a OS bug. Is the KB-Update or something to fix this?
