[Video] OBS Studio Glitches on Visual Studio Code (VSCode) Terminal, but nowhere else

[tobytobkin]

Hi OBSers,

I'm having a weird glitch I can't seem to figure out. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

When recording a programming tutorial on VSCode, the most common IDE today, I get weird video glitches when using the command prompt inside VSCode. Here is a demo video:

Some more facts:

• My Elgato capture card outputs non-glitched video, but OBS studio records glitched video
• The glitching occurs both when SSHed into a server and on my local machine
• The glitching does not occur when recording the regular MacOS terminal, as demoed
• VSCode doesn't show any glitching except when using the terminal

Any pointers to why this may be happening or how I can resolve it?
