Description

What version of the IDE extension are you using?

26.901.22334

What subscription do you have?

Plus

Which IDE are you using?

VS Code

What platform is your computer?

Linux

What issue are you seeing?

Since the last update, random fog appears at the top of the prompt box half-obscuring the first line. I don't know the condition but once it appears, it doesn't go away until I restart VS Code (or "reload" window) to remove it.

It doesn't appear just with the dark high contrast theme; it happened with the light theme, too.

Start using it. It happens randomly.

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

The report names no file or test. Start by reproducing the random fog in the VS Code extension on Linux, using version 26.901.22334 and both dark high-contrast and light themes; done means the first prompt line is never obscured and the issue no longer requires reloading VS Code to clear.
