Acrilyc tabrow glitch when terminal change focus #21285

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Feb 21, 2024):

You know, this is not the first time we've seen this since 1.19. Could you share your settings.json file/?

The inactive acrylic change shouldn't affect the titlebar at all. It should only affect the "terminal" area. But we've got a theory that maybe the in-app acrylic messes with the host-backdrop acrylic.

Could you share your [settings.json file](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)#where-can-i-find-the-settings-file)/? {{I should go find the other recent reports and add them here}} The inactive acrylic change _shouldn't_ affect the titlebar at all. It should only affect the "terminal" area. But we've got a theory that maybe the in-app acrylic messes with the host-backdrop acrylic.

@zadjii-msft This looks to me like #16661, which was closed as external.

I am not familiar with technical details so I am not sure if this makes sense, but would an option to use the host-backdrop acrylic to the hole application extending it to the titlebar/tabrow so there are only one effect to manage and get rid of the possibility of them messing with each other (Assuming that's the problem)?

Here my settings.json file

@DanielSRS commented on GitHub (Feb 22, 2024): > The inactive acrylic change shouldn't affect the titlebar at all. It should only affect the "terminal" area. But we've got a theory that maybe the in-app acrylic messes with the host-backdrop acrylic. I am not familiar with technical details so I am not sure if this makes sense, but would an option to use the host-backdrop acrylic to the hole application extending it to the titlebar/tabrow so there are only one effect to manage and get rid of the possibility of them messing with each other (Assuming that's the problem)? <details> <summary>Here my settings.json file</summary> ```json { "$help":

This problem first occurred in v1.19. At that time I was using Preview and had to downgrade to Stable v1.18 because of it. Now the problem has moved to Stable v1.19 and still exists in Preview v1.20. Unfortunately, it seems that not many people use acrylic tabrow, so it is of little concern for them. For me personally, it makes a big difference to my enjoyment of using Terminal.

I'm gonna take another look at this.

In the meantime, does adding "compatibility.enableUnfocusedAcrylic": false to the global settings (i.e. next to useAcrylicInTabRow) (then rebooting the Terminal), help?

For a short time with v1.20.11215.0 the tabs glitches disappeared (I even removed "compatibility.enableUnfocusedAcrylic": false), but then they came back with v1.21.1272.0.

That's just silly. Why add all these transparent effects if you're not willing to make them work properly? 😆

For me, it also happends when opening new tab then closing that tab without moving the cursor. For now, "compatibility.enableUnfocusedAcrylic": false seems to workaround the issue for me.

Got me waiting for so long to report because I thought it was 23H2 issue. However with 24H2, I still can observe same issue.

Windows Terminal 1.21.2701.0.
