Problem with color display after usage of unix "screen" command

[Kauzge]

I followed the installation instructions on the documentation website both for my Windows machine (Windows Terminal) and Ubuntu server (version 20.04.2 LTS).
Yesterday everything worked fine. But today after I logged into my server and used the "screen" command the colors didn't get displayed correctly (see image below).
I'm using the Caskaydia Nerd Font.

Did I make a mistake or is this a bug?

Definitely not an issue on your end, and also not on ours. I'll check the Windows Terminal issue list 😅

I tried to multiplex my terminal with the "tmux" command instead of "screen". With tmux everything gets displayed properly. Maybe there is a problem within the screen environment?

I've ran into the same problem (I am also using windows terminal).

Funnily enough, I've tried switching to oh-my-posh after I couldn't fix issues with https://github.com/justjanne/powerline-go that has text wrapping problems and duplicates prompt at times when the commands/entries in history got too long. So far I haven't noticed that in oh-my-posh (yay 🎉 ) but it didn't suffer from the screen problem. Not sure how similar the rendering engine is between the two.

Is there any fix for this?
I am seeing this issue as well.

I am on WSL2 and trying to use OMP through "screen" from Windows Terminal

I have the same problem when using alacritty as terminal.

The color of oh-my-posh have problem but the neofetch works well.

I've tried the ANSI escape sequences. Basic colors works well but the true color mode can not show properly. It seems like the GNU Screen do not support the true color mode.

Any fix?

@MalumaDev not on our end. This is something screen/tmux should look at. We output the same.

Try tmux.
