Hi @slavoroi -- The dashboard relies on blessed, which doesn't have universal support in psuedo-terminals. You may want to first peruse:

• "Shelljs is incompatible with blessed": https://github.com/FormidableLabs/webpack-dashboard/issues/214
• "Nodemon is incompatible with blessed.": https://github.com/FormidableLabs/webpack-dashboard/issues/217

To help us isolate the issue, can you do a temporary tweak to just run a straight blessed application in the WebStorm terminal? Here are some suggestions we've used to isolate the issue in the past:

• node node_modules/blessed/example/simple-form.js -- https://github.com/FormidableLabs/webpack-dashboard/issues/214#issuecomment-340549856, https://github.com/FormidableLabs/webpack-dashboard/issues/217#issuecomment-342570220

And then report back. Thanks!

So i did that and now I got nothing, it just printed two lines with no submit form (no gibberish), the second line is: "node node_modules/blessed/example/simple-form.js" while printing in the terminal gave a modal with an option of submit or cancel.
