Sounds awfully similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1510923.
When I'm in an interactive task shell, the bottom part of the shell is not visible, so, for example, I can't see what I type.

If I try resizing the Firefox window, I see two console resolutions being mentioned at the center of the shell.

I'm not able to replicate. The screenshot you sent shows no text at all. Are you not seeing the bottom part only or everything?

That's expected. The library we use for some reason duplicates things on FF only. https://github.com/dbkaplun/hterm-umdjs/issues/6. The work-around we did there to support FF is to remove everything on the page (e..g, navigation menu) and just render the log.

Here's a screenshot which shows the bug.

I've noticed that in order to reproduce you need to paste something (with CTRL+V, I'm not sure if the same occurs if you paste by using the mouse) at least once in the shell.

This is a screenshot when the bug does not occur (that is, when I have not pasted anything in the shell).

Note the first screenshot was a bit confusing (a command was running and I pressed ENTER multiple times), but the bug was there too: the blinking cursor was below what I could view.

From our discussion on riot, it seems to be working on chrome but fails on FF. This issue only happens when pasting. It would be interesting to see if the issue can be replicated on a different screen (e.g., external monitor) when using ubuntu. This would help know if it's a styling issue or something else.

I can't reproduce on an external monitor.
