Bug highlighting random characters on VScode Terminal? - debugging

I suddenly got what appears to be some random highlights on my terminal in VScode. Whatever I try to write it just gets hidden by the yellow boxes you see in the screenshot. It even keeps the highlights in place even if I delete the characters. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I just found out that turning off Terminal > Integrated: GPU Acceleration in my settings eliminates the problem. I'm using the latest vscode 1.70.2 on a 12years old MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.13.6 and vscode might be starting to get a bit glitchy with this setup.

Whenever I open Hyper on Mac, my screen flashes black for a few seconds

I try to use Hyper on my Mac, and it used to work fine. For the last few weeks, my screen would flash black whenever I opened Hyper on my Mac (but not for regular terminal). Is this because I messed up some files? I recently got this Mac so I'm not exactly sure why this has been happening.
I saved my settings and reinstalled it. Now it works fine. Must've been a problem since electron was not properly working either.

Mac OS Siera PyQt5 QTabWidget Issue

I usually program on windows (at work) or linux (free time).
Now im doing a project for my wife, and she uses a mac.
In this project there is a QTabWidget with closeable tabs.
On windows the close icon appears properly, and as excepted, however on MAC there is no close icon.
When you click far left on the tab title it just closes unexpectedly, because you cant see a close icon, and im not 100% sure why that is.
Anyone seen this before and know of a fix?
Mac is latest Siera os (just updated)
Python 3
PyQt5 (installed with pip3)
Thanks very much in advance
This is caused by a bug which has been fixed in Qt-5.9.2 (see QTBUG-61092).
In the meantime, it should be possible to work around the issue by setting your own icon using a stylesheet. To do this, you would need to use the QTabBar::close-button selector, which is documented in the Qt Style Sheets Reference.

Magic Mouse behaves erratically in PhpStorm 2016 under macOS Sierra

Since upgrading to Sierra, clicking any text within PhpStorm 2016.2.1 results in a random block of text being selected and clicking within that moves the text around randomly instead of deselecting the text block.
Worked without a problem in El Capitan.
This has made PhpStorm into an extremely frustrating and productivity killing experience.
Any idea how to fix this?
Please see the latest EAP build here (I haven't yet tried it myself): https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2016/10/phpstorm-2016-3-eap-163-5644/
Issue is tracked as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161617. Please check if the problem persists in the custom JDK build: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-161617#comment=27-1642308
I found that turning off the "three finger drag" feature dramatically reduced this issue.
Follow the instructions in Apple's support docs for this.
It seems that under Sierra the Magic Mouse has become so sensitive that even touching the edge of the mouse with my other fingers can be misinterpreted as a three finger drag attempt.
Still happens intermittently, so I'm hoping some update to the driver by Apple or the PHPStorm JDK will get rid of any lingering occurrences. For now, this is the best solution I've found thus far.

Distance lines are not showing in interface editor

after installing latest Mac OS X (El Capitan) I found that distance lines inside Xcode interface editor does not appear anymore after pressing alt key. I do not know if system update has something to do with it ... maybe I just pressed some kind of key configuration which disabled distance guides. Did someone ever had similar situation? Below I attached link to image which exactly shows lines I am talking about.

Ok so It turned out that the problem was in having two Xcode versions installed on one machine. I mean that currently I have Xcode 6.4 and 7.1 on my mac and version 6.4 behaves sometimes quite strange (for example I am not able to add new source file directly to project because I am not able to choose any group option). 7.1 is ok. So if you have some problems in similar configuration then get rid of Xcode 6.
