I got this issue, with oh my zsh as well. But when i close and reopen the terminal tab, the UI got fixed.
Still, it happens occasionally, especially when launched for the first time.

@Abdur-rahmaanJ can you see if it gets corrected for you as well if you close and open the integrated terminal?

The issue is still there I can reproduce it. Closing and reopening does not help.

Same here. On Macbook. It is quite annoying 😞

Another example of awkward render (left Zed, right Ghostty)

edit

VSC running just fine

alacritty (which is what zed embeds for the integrated terminal) is notorious for bad unicode style handling by default. In the desktop app, you can configure this to look a bit better, but as far as I know there's no zed conf options exposed to improve the experience of the integrated terminal...

I don't know the complexity and implications about what I'm going to say, but would it make sense to attach it to whatever a user is using instead of providing an arbitrary one? Or even as some kind of provider which can be set in the settings.

Would it make senso to have it as a feature request? Just wondering...

I soldspoke a little too soon, alacritty handles the pty logic, but zed has their own rendering frontend for actually presenting the graphical terminal in the editor. It looks like they're planning to migrate the embedded terminal to libghostty, but they're deep into the git integrations and AI assistant tooling, do I don't anticipate this to get resolved anytime soon

Adding a solution that worked for me where font rendering was the issue, I had to add the font family used by Kitty(my default terminal emulator) config and the rendering improved in Zed terminal. Attaching screenshots here for reference
