Environment

Windows build number: 18362.145
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.1.1431.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Had terminal up for a few days on remote machine, locked machine and when I came back after weekend and logged in, parts of the command text is now black

Expected behavior

All foreground text should be white

Actual behavior

Some text is white, some is black. It looks like command output is white, but commands I type are usually black, as well as error text.

Weird nuances though:

I saw this when I upgraded from 0.1.1431.0 to 0.1.1502.0, actually. Everything with a color becomes black, and everything with the default color stays correct.

Ah, Dustin I didn't figure out that correlation, but now that you say it yes, that appears to be the behaviour I'm seeing, thanks for clarifying it :)

This may be related to #742. I thought we had a migration in place, but maybe it's not not working?

Haven't seen reports of this in quite a long time, so I'm gonna close it out. Let me know if it's still happening!
