I forgot to note: The pulsing stops while the window loses focus.

Well, that's odd. Can you please do the following?

Can you please do the following? * Check that it's truly the latest drivers: * Regular (recommended): https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/235904/ * For improved stability: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/235906/ * Reboot * Make a screen recording. I can recommend: * Simple: https://github.com/mmozeiko/wcap * More powerful: https://getsharex.com/ * Built into Windows: Search for "Snipping Tool"

Good news. I've narrowed the problem to an... incompatibility? with Wallpaper Engine.

As I was preparing to take more recordings, I maximized a explorer window to use as a background and the pulsing text stopped.
Doing that paused Wallpaper Engine animations, for whatever reason it interferes with Terminal.

Thanks for digging in more! I wonder what's up with that... and if there's anything we can do about it.
