Summary: with BurnIn (Persistence) enabled, Effect FPS at Maximum, the burn-in effect does not fade away properly.

Notes:

  • The app starts with a default fps of 30 and a burnin quality of 50%
  • The user must intentionally raise effect fps to max, and adjust the burnin quality setting to 100%.
  • If "Blinking Cursor" is enabled, the persistence effect fades at 2fps (the rate of cursor blinking).
  • If "Blinking Cursor" is not enabled, the persistence effect will not fade until a change occurs in the terminal (i.e.: a user types something, or a program displays new information on screen)

Workarounds (both required):

  • set effect FPS below max (e.g.: 60 fps)
  • set burnin quality below 100%

Similar reports: #831 and #816

On M2 Macbook Pro I noticed the burn-in eventually freezes and stops fading -- in this screenshot it stays like this forever (I didn't change any default settings, I just scrolled up and down a bunch)

Can confirm for Fedora 40.

I can also confirm, the workaround working, which makes me happy. :-)
