Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0
Any other software? No.

Steps to reproduce

Add a background and use the Powershell for some time, the background will break at some point.

Expected behavior

imagen

It should work like this, but I dont want acrylic enabled because transparency makes the text a bit harder to read.

Actual behavior

imagen

When I enable Acrylic, it works as intended, but as soon as I disable it, it stops working after some time and I have to restart my PC in order for it to work for a little more.

It used to work before without any issues, so I assume it is meant to work without acrylic enabled.

Only the bottom and top parts of the background are visible.

Wow, this is crazy. It's not sufficient to restart Terminal?

If you use the experimental rendering options documented here, do they help?

So, these ones don't hot reload; you did relaunch the Terminal after changing them, right?

You're not using antialiasingType: cleartype, right?

Relaunched it with that and it didn't work.
Then I took away antialiasingType and it immediately worked after relaunching it.

Now that I'm at my computer and can look at it: this looks like it might be a /dupe of #5703. Thanks!
