terminal appearance - text input has white background a

[BurakAy]

When terminal opens the screen in blank due to text area having multiple new lines, must scroll up to see terminal has initialized . No visible cursor and first character input appears to be in middle of blank space. The issue appears to be intermittent, sometimes it initializes properly, sometimes it doesn't.

However, the following issues are always present. After entering second character, background of inputted text turns white.

When backspace is used to delete inputted text, the white background remains up to the furthest previously inputted character. Also, after inputting the first character, if you input a white space (press spacebar) the input following the space becomes invisible/disappears.

Here is another image showing the appearance after a command is run. In this example I ran 'npm start'.

This normally happens when you've tweaked cmd.exe's default colors.

In the windows 10 v1809 environment, many third-party terminals have this problem(felixse/FluentTerminal#108 (comment)). This problem can be resolved by removing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\ScreenColors in the registry.
