Created attachment 187610 [details] Sample terminal log with escape sequences Build ID: TM I20110125 and all earlier versions As per the ANSI spec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansi_terminal an "ESC 2 J" sequence to clear the Terminal should paint the terminal with the current background color. But the Terminal uses the default background. This can be observed by playing attached TXT file over a com0com virtual nullmodem connection into the Serial terminal : The background is expected to go all black (like in PuTTY or Hyperterm), but the TM Terminal goes all white in the end.
The reason is that in TerminalTextData the various "cleanLine" methods all delete the entire backing storage. They should instead keep the backing storage for attributes, and fill it with the current background color.
The Terminal component of the Eclipse Ecosystem has a new home. The Terminal is now part of the Eclipse CDT project[1]. This change means a new Git repo[2], P2 site[3] and Bugzilla component. The terminal will continue to be delivered as part of the quarterly Simultaneous Release of Eclipse as well. The marketplace entry[4] had not been updated in a few years. It will once again install the latest release of the terminal on the latest release of the whole IDE (currently 2020-03). If this bug is no longer relevant, please feel free to comment or close the bug. If you can confirm if this issues still occurs in the latest release please do let me know in a comment.
