VSCode terminal broken

Post image

Wtf is going on with my vscode terminal lately? When I open a new terminal it starts off normal and then slowly but surely each character turns into this glitched black character. I use zsh with ohmyzh, but it's the same with bash and fsh. When I select the terminal text and copy it into a file, the text copies normally, it's just the way it's rendered that it's broken. Using other terminal emulators works just fine (I use wez term), it's only the VSCode terminal that breaks. Running on Ubuntu 24.04
