cls command spacing as well as spacing for input not wrapping to next line, global env vars not highlighted

[SOSANA]

I am having an issue with cls, it leaves spacing issues, you'll also notice that now global env vars aren't highlighted as they use to be example git status etc

Any suggestions on resolving these issues? out of the box use to work now it doesn't 👎

I'm not sure I understand your description of the issue. Can you do a fresh install of cmder and write down exactly the steps you take to reproduce this problem?

There are various spacing issues when typing as text as it is not wrapping to the next line, the other issue was highlighting text via global env vars like git, npm, etc as its all currently white tex. Another issue was using the clear screen command cls as it leaves a line space at top of cmdr window. as shown in blow pictures. Also note the text being all white

inital render of console spacing is normal at top of window

once we type the clear screen cls command add's line spacing at top of window

when start to type adds new line spacing instead of wrapping to next line. Notice not text highlighted for global enabled vars and commands. In this example by the third line it broke and kicked me out a you see below.

I simply down load your full version from your site, extract it, and place it in the directory of my choice. I than run the executable

The issue here appears to have something to do with the Git prompt. I can reproduce it when I am inside a Git repo, but everything works normally when in a directory that is not a Git repo.

@SOSANA Can you confirm that it works properly in another directory that isn't a Git repository?

I'm still not sure what you mean about the problem with the text color. As far as I know, the text you type is always supposed to be the same color. Only text that is printed after you hit enter gets colored.

@kohenkatz I can confirm I see the same results when not using git prompt

Prior to last few months of updates I used to get highlighted text in the command prompt for doing various commands. Unfortunately I don't have any prior screen shots to provide to show you an example. Maybe I installed at that time a third party program that did this text highlighting but that is my only other thing I can think of if this feature has never existed prior at which point I don't think this was the case as both my desktop and laptop faced the same issues and 99% I haven't done so.

Any suggestions for quick hack to prevent these line spacings?

Thanks @kohenkatz for helping me on this issue 👍

@kohenkatz I am wondering if maybe I uninstall git and reinstall this might help? just an idea but trying to avoid at this point 🎱
