Thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, what I see in the screenshot couldn't have been produced directly in either of the terminal emulators mentioned.

Did you run termvisage within tmux or some other terminal multiplexer?

[kianmeng]

I've tried disabling tmux, as well as create another new user account with bash shell without tmux to test it out. Issue remains the same.

[AnonymouX47]

The shell shouldn't matter.

Please, try the following:

• Open a new Kitty Terminal window.
• Ensure you aren't working within tmux or any other terminal multiplexer.
• Run termvisage ...
• Run echo $TERM_PROGRAM
• Run kitty +kitten query_terminal
• Share a full screenshot of the terminal window.

[kianmeng]

Yup, it worked for me this time, after disabling tmux and use kitty, not gnome-terminal. Thanks.

$ echo $TERM_PROGRAM

$ kitty +kitten query_terminal

Oh, great! You're welcome.

Also, I think it's worth noting the following:

• support for tmux passthrough is underway. This will allow high-resolution images within tmux, though with certain limitations.
• support a relatively new kitty graphics' Virtual Placements is underway, see Kitty terminal graphics support term-image#40 (comment). This will allow for proper display of images within terminal multiplexers, though it's only limited to the Kitty Terminal so far.

These features will be implemented in the library, term-image first and then incorporated herein.

Thanks.
