ANSI Escape Sequence (displaying true color) didn't work on Terminal

[ylazy]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.94.2
• OS Version: Windows 11 24H2

Steps to Reproduce:

The ANSI Escape sequence didn't work as expected on Terminal panel. RGB Color didn't work, but Bold or Dim are fine. See the screenshot bellow.

The same output, Debug Console displayed correctly:

But Terminal displayed incorrectly:

I tried these settings but the problem still remains:

"terminal.integrated.drawBoldTextInBrightColors": false,
"terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio": 1,

simple test:

type hello.txt

download hello.txt

I'm experiencing a similar issue; the debug console does not display ANSI escape codes. Running on macOS 15.1 (arm64).

Can you share the code?

Hi everyone!
This issue is about the Terminal, not the Debug Console.

Ah the second set of screenshots threw me off. Can you share the code that produces the output in your original screenshot?

I've already attached the hello.txt above.
Thank you!

This issue seems to originate from an upstream component and is not something VSCode can fix by making a change to our code. As such, I will go ahead and close it. Please try to reproduce in Windows Terminal and report to microsoft/terminal with repro steps.

If you cannot reproduce in Windows Terminal, chances are it's fixed in a later version of Windows. You can read more about how we consume conpty here. Additionally, soon we plan on shipping conpty v2 with VS Code which should bring our behavior in line with Windows Terminal. Thanks for understanding.
