My version of VSCode is below.

I do mostly Powershell. Also do some text editing with a mix of Hebrew and English. I only notice this behavior when the syntax mode of the editor is Powershell. When the mode is plain text, this oddity is not present.

The odd display behavior:

What to do?

  • I think this should really be closed as a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/a/70293571/836330. Okay if I do so? – Mark Dec 28 '21 at 04:40
  • @Mark Maybe as a dupe that is OK. The problem presentation is a little odd. Most users who use an additional character set only use one in addition to English. Closing it as a dupe will allow a Hebrew user to find the answer, so that seems cool. (I never would have found the threads discussing Greek or Arabic.) – Jonesome Reinstate Monica Dec 28 '21 at 04:56
  • Yeah I am hoping that `border/box/outline around characters` and v1.63 is what leads people to the questions. I don't really know how to edit the questions to make them more discoverable... – Mark Dec 28 '21 at 05:35

The fix is discussed here.

I used a subset of the answer. I added to settings.json:

 "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorUnicodeHighlight.border": "#0000",  // set to transparent
  }
