Windows Terminal Preview will cover the command-line's color scheme of wsl2(Ubuntu)

[Submerging]

Windows Terminal version

Version: 1.16.2642.0

Windows build number

10.0.25182.1010

Other Software

WSL version: 0.70.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.68.1
WSLg version: 1.0.45
MSRDC version: 1.2.3575
Direct3D version: 1.606.4
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.25182.1010

Steps to reproduce

open wsl2 in Windows Terminal Preview;
the ubuntu command line color, such as ls, vim, shows white for all words rather than the color inherited from PS1 and LS_COLORS from file .bashrc in Ubuntu. This change occurs after some update of Win11.

Windows Terminal still works well with the same setting.json.

Expected Behavior

I expect to use command line color inherited from my individual PS1 and LS_COLORS of file .bashrc in Ubuntu

Actual Behavior

I'm assuming ls --color=always doesn't make any difference, but something like printf "\e[38;2;192;64;0mfoo\e[m\n" works?
Could you share your settings.json file with us? You can strip out any private information (like file paths, etc.). Alternatively I guess your shell might be emitting a DECRSTS sequence...

[237dmitry]

Are in ~/.bashrc the prompt PS1 escape sequences escaped? Like this:

export PS1='\[\033[38;5;29m\] $(printf "%03d" \#)\[\033[38;5;95m\] \W \[\033[38;5;31m\]$ \[\033[0m\]'

Can you also share your settings.json file? Thanks!

nothing surprises...

Actually, Windows terminal and Windows terminal preview share the same ubuntu‘s user of wsl kernel with the same .bashrc, and I use the same settings.json for both terminals as follows. Command still shows white words in Windows terminal preview， but Windows terminal works well like previous display.

Are in ~/.bashrc the prompt PS1 escape sequences escaped? Like this:

export PS1='\[\033[38;5;29m\] $(printf "%03d" \#)\[\033[38;5;95m\] \W \[\033[38;5;31m\]$ \[\033[0m\]'

This is the PS1 I used:
export PS1='[\033[01;31m]\u[\033[00m]@[\033[01;32m]\h[\033[00m][[\033[01;33m]\t[\033[00m]]:[\033[01;34m]\w[\033[00m]$'

Hey @lhecker, this looks like #13989.

/dup #13989

@Submerging thanks for the report! It looks like you've got a version of the Source Code Pro font installed that incorrectly identifies itself as containing "colored" text when in actuality the text is not colored.

Another filer noted that this was fixed in 2020:

there was a release in 2020 with 'Removes SVG table to allow for color-coded text in text editing apps. (issue adobe-fonts/source-code-pro#250)' in the release notes.
