Shared Terminal Height Inconsistency

Closed this issue · 1 comments

What happened:

During collaborative sessions using the Live Share extension in Visual Studio Code, the shared terminal's height does not adjust to match the guest's terminal settings. While the local terminal functions normally, the shared terminal remains fixed to the host's terminal height. This inconsistency leads to usability issues and confusion during collaboration, as participants' terminal views do not align.

What was the system configuration?

  • Product and Version: VS Code
  • OS Version: Fedora 39 / Linux
  • Live Share Extension Version: v1.0.5918
  • Target Platform or Language: Nodejs

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

  1. Launch VS Code and open a collaborative session.
  2. Join the session as a guest.
  3. Observe that the terminal height is clipped to match the height of the host's terminal.
