I can't use the full buffer viewport in Visual Studio Code

When I open my terminal in Visual Studio Code, I can't use half the buffer viewport on the screen. I am presented with half the buffer viewport for working in the terminal.

Example of there terminal I see

It was working until I got a message from VS Code telling me that my terminal is running slower than usual and that I can use a DOM version instead. (I can't recall the wording exactly) I chose to try it.

It worked fine for a while and then it jumped to the middle of the viewport which makes the top part unusable.

I don't know what information to give but I am running Fedora 28, VS Code 1.30.2, the experience is the same on both Integrated and External Explorer Kind terminals. I have gnome-terminal selected as my Linux Exec.

You probably ended up setting the terminal renderType to DOM.

  1. Go to settings ( COMMAND (⌘) + COMMA (,) or use the Command Palette to search for settings).
  2. Then search for terminal.integrated.rendererType and make sure it is set to auto

— A more detailed explanation can be found here.
