title: VS Code terminal colors are screwy
body: <p>I'm using the default theme. The terminal's colors are impossible to read, make no sense, and are inconsistent. I've tried switching themes but they're terrible in all the themes.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what it looks like in the default. Are you able to read my yellow input against the gray background? And why isn't there a black background everywhere?

  <p>I realize there are settings that can manually set the fore/background colors. But I'm thinking something is broken for me because of how screwy the terminal behaves.</p>
  
  <p>For example, here's what I see when I first start the terminal, type a bunch of stuff, backspace to delete half of it, resize the terminal pane, then delete some more. Notice how some of the deleted spaces have yellow and some have gray. Also notice how the area where the CWD would be shown is all black.

  <p>Here are the contents of my <code>settings.json</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "window.zoomLevel": 0,
      "git.enableSmartCommit": true,
      "workbench.startupEditor": "newUntitledFile"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What needs fixing, and how?</p>

  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>Just to satisfy your curiosity, I added this to my <code>settings.json</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
      "terminal.foreground": "#ffffff",
      "terminal.background": "#000000"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>No joy:
