Problem with terminal during live share

[xfoscarz]

Describe what happened:
When in live share, the collaborator's terminal would be blank, and when they type, it would type on other collaborators terminals but their terminal would still be blank. Basically, they can type but they can't see the terminal for some reason. Also, when I open node js and leave node js, the terminal on the collaborator still says that the language is: 1: node [Shared]

@ChezCoder Thanks for reporting the issue. If you shared another terminal while in the session, do you still see blank terminal?

Face the same issue too. +1

No @nandiniYeltiwar , if I open a new terminal and share it, the other person will be able to see it

This seems to happen mostly when I have read-write access. If I do not have r/w access to the terminal, then I do see their updates, but the lines often don't appear in correct location/order when a long string of text is sent.

I am experiencing this same issue. I can't share my terminal as it appears only as this black bar as input, but isn't printing anything.

I am experiencing this same issue. I can't share my terminal as it appears only as this black bar as input, but isn't printing anything.

So, apparently I was able to 'unlock' my terminal by clicking on the 'Maximizing Panel Size' button, located on the top right of the terminal. Me and my friend were able to type into the shared terminal.

Same here

Still existing. I guess this is the same bug as: Host opens new read/write terminal, guest sees it. Only the message Host shared a Live Share terminal. Enter to type. is displayed. When pressing Enter, nothing happens. Only the input of the host is visible to the guest. Outcome: guest cannot interact with the read/write terminal.

I am on Mac OS with VS Code Version: 1.86.0
Live Share Version: v1.0.5905

Trying to connect to a LiveShare Session on Windows 11

EDIT: Restart of the host machine (Windows) fixed the issue. This should not be needed in 2024, Microsoft.
