Terminus not showing text

[IvoryJam]

When opening Terminus, it doesn't show any text, but only in the Gnome DE. In KDE it works just fine.

I've found that when I do the ctrl-l keyboard shortcut, it does show the prompt but no stdout it looks like (but sometimes it does but drops the first line). The commands do run though, but I can only see what I type if I do ctrl-l first or if I backspace once.

Also if I preface the command with any other command, I can get the full stdout (still no prompt unless I do ctrl-l though) e.g. echo; ls shows the output of ls

I have the same problem. I only see the output of commands, but nothing when I type, nor I see the shell prefix.
You said you solved it. How?

[IvoryJam]

It works in KDE, I also found if I launch it through the desktop file instead of the command subl then it works kind of. Maybe something with the TTY inside of Gnome?

Having the exact same issue.

Sublime Text version 4180
Using Fedora 40, bash version 5.2.26

Not sure which of the above are causing the issue, but I notice if I change Terminus setting and set the terminal to sh instead of bash, it seems to work properly.

1. First, go the Terminus setting file
   

2. Change the shell_configs from bash to sh
   

3. When using sh, it will normally not load your bash configuration ~/.bashrc, and the shell prompt becomes boring like just sh > . So I set the PS1 environment variable as well.

{
    // the default config, either a single config name or a platform
    // specific dict
    "default_config": {
        "linux": "Bash",    // login shell
        "osx": null,      // login shell
        "windows": "Command Prompt"
    },
    // a list of available shells to execute
    "shell_configs": [
        {
            "name": "Bash",
            "cmd": ["sh"],
            "env": {
                "PS1": "\\[\\e[38;5;141m\\]\\u@\\h \\[\\e[38;5;247m\\]\\W\\[\\e[0m\\]\\$ "
            },
            "enable": true,
            "platforms": ["linux", "osx"]
        }
.....

Apparently I can solve the problem if I remove the -l option:

    "shell_configs": [
        {
            "name": "Bash",
-            "cmd": ["bash", "-i", "-l"],
+            "cmd": ["bash", "-i"],
            "env": {},
            "enable": true,
            "platforms": ["linux", "osx"]
        },
    ]

I tried to do the same thing and still got the error.
