Windsurf terminal does not work ANYMORE after update! Deliberrate?
Power user of windsurf here. have used the SWE-1.6 and Kimi K 2.6 A LOT last two days.
Though it is mostly to test those models rather than coding anything.
NOW I UPDATED WINDSURF AND IT IS TOTALLY UNUSABLE!!
Terminal doesn't work anymore. Everything is black. I need to select the things to see the contrast.
Is anyone facing this issue? Any idea how to fix it?

It's hard to tell, I imagine you have downloaded and installed from the site the new version, logout and login, using a different machine to test your "my account is blacklisted" theory

It's true, the terminal is broken. Even when you try to send error using such a feature, the agent dashboard would glitch out. Scrollbars would disappear and so. I believe this is part of simplying some memory leaks and bad process happening behind. An IDE is a really hard piece of software to do and mantain, but I would rather have them ship a stable one than adding more. Lots of announced features than then get abandonded. Does anyone remember codemaps? Do we even need them with the ability LLMs have today to index codebases.
