Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT             10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1401.0

I am running Powershell 7.0 in the terminal but I verified that this behavior also exists in older versions of Powershell.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Delete existing settings.json to fill in with default settings.
  2. Set the Powershell config to use the "Solarized Dark" theme.
  3. Open a new instance of Powershell in terminal and type testing123 -XYZ, the -XYZ portion will not be shown.

Expected behavior

I would expect to see "-XYZ" to still be visible. Perhaps it would be better to have command line arguments highlighted in white.

Actual behavior

The -XYZ text will not be shown as it is the same color as the background. I have verified this by overriding the "brightBlack" solarized theme color to any other color and it shows up.
