I'm pretty sure this is a bug, but it might be a feature request. (Also I recognize this is probably low priority).

  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17686.1003]
Though I will note that it has been this way forever.

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
$ cargo build
     <green>Finished</green> dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.30s
$ cmd
Spawns new shell, etc, but the colorful output from cargo build is now gone!

Example:
2018-06-13_15-02-38

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

It seems the color information is lost somewhere, and everything goes back to being black and white :(

This randomly happened for me in the Windows subsystem for linux as well, but the issue persists across restarts and new windows (which I feel like is not the case for you)
