I am on the latest Hyper.app version

Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):
The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app:

Issue

Using zsh by default above, the powerline prompt is incorrectly showing a black line and shape at the front and back on hyper3. This change occurred after the update.

I dropped webGLRenderer: false, right under update channel and it worked for me

@Stanzilla why was this closed? webGLRenderer: false is not a solution - it’s a workaround. With webGLRenderer: true the app is much faster (you can see it when scrolling).

Noting that #3575 lists a workaround:

This issue seems related to the WebGL rendering, as turning webGLRenderer to false in config seems to revert to hyper v2 behavior Setting webGLRenderer: false worked for me on latest Windows 10. It also restored font ligatures (with the appropriate plugin), which were also broken by the v3 release.

The behaviour isn’t perfect (there’s a 1px offset in the opposite direction still) but it should help resolve some of that annoyance

So for some display-related reason (maybe CSS settings for legibility, maybe the actual Electron version), the start of the actual glyph no longer aligns with the start of the background, which is a problem for any theme/font that use the  arrow, and on any OS.

Thank you! I had the same problem with my PowerShell powerline prompt. It was so irritating.
