The following parts were not respecting the column selection edge case where the start column was greater than the end column while the start row was less than the end row: - Webgl renderer - DOM renderer - Selection service (ie. getSelection(), I don't think this was a regression) Fixes #3855

import { WebglAddon } from 'xterm-addon-webgl';
const terminal = new Terminal();
terminal.loadAddon(new WebglAddon());
See the full API for more advanced usage.
Handling Context Loss
The browser may drop WebGL contexts for various reasons like OOM or after the system has been suspended. There is an API exposed that fires the webglcontextlost event fired on the canvas so embedders can handle it however they wish. An easy, but suboptimal way, to handle this is by disposing of WebglAddon when the event fires:
const terminal = new Terminal();
const addon = new WebglAddon();
addon.onContextLoss(e => {
addon.dispose();
});
terminal.loadAddon(addon);
