Devin Desktop: Terminal text rendering fixed
Three releases of Devin Desktop shipped this week, with the main change being a fix to the integrated terminal's text rendering issue. This fix helps users who experienced small text with wide gaps between letters when GPU acceleration was on. The releases also include various other fixes and changes to improve the overall user experience.
v3.12.59 · November 12, 2026
Also shipped to the Next channel as v3.12.1059.
This release fixes the integrated terminal’s text rendering issue when GPU acceleration is on, where text was drawn at a very small size with wide gaps between letters.
Official release notes
Fixed
- The integrated terminal no longer draws text at a very small size with wide gaps between letters when GPU acceleration is on.
v3.12.57 · November 12, 2026
Also shipped to the Next channel as v3.12.1057.
This release updates Electron to 43.8.8, which includes Chromium security fixes and the Node.js 24.22.1 security update. It also fixes several issues, including the model picker ignoring clicks, file corruption, and image sizing. Additionally, it implements various other fixes to improve the stability and functionality of Devin Desktop.
Official release notes
Changed
- Devin Desktop now uses Electron 43.8.8, which includes Chromium security fixes and the Node.js 24.22.1 security update.
Fixed
- The model picker in a Devin Local chat no longer ignores clicks while Devin Desktop refreshes your account status after launch.
- A Devin Local tab no longer tries to create a Cloud session in some enterprise accounts.
- Devin Local no longer corrupts files that are not valid UTF-8 text.
- Approving a plan in Devin Local implements the plan file as saved at that moment.
- Images sent to GPT and Gemini models in Devin Local are sized to the limits of those models (2048 px and 3072 px on the longest side).
- Devin Local deletes overflow files older than 7 days when it starts, so long command output no longer accumulates in the temp directory.
- In Editor mode, the “Chat” button of the selection nudge inserts the selected code into the Devin Local composer.
- Cmd/Ctrl+I Command uses the model you selected. Some models silently fell back to the default.
@menu rows that overlap the title bar can be clicked.- A session tab no longer crashes when a reply with a Markdown table arrives while the tab is in the background.
- Attachment tabs load for Cloud sessions of an organization with an IP allowlist.
- The Settings editor no longer lists categories that have no settings to show.
v3.12.43 · November 9, 2026
Also shipped to the Next channel as v3.12.1043.
This release changes how Devin Local handles responses that stop at the output limit and adds an image_size parameter to image reads. It also fixes several issues, including blocked follow-up prompts, incorrect file listings, and Mermaid diagram rendering problems.
Official release notes
Changed
- Devin Local keeps working more often: a response that stops at the output limit before a tool call continues the turn, and GPT models no longer stop to ask for input they can work out.
- Image reads in Devin Local take an
image_size. The default sends 70% of the original’s longest side, at least 1024 px.
Fixed
- Follow-up prompts in a Devin Local session are no longer blocked when your Devin Cloud usage is restricted.
- Files in a gitignored directory are no longer listed as created.
- In the IDE, dragging a file or folder from the Explorer or an editor tab onto the Devin Local panel adds it to the input as a chip.
- Child Devin Local sessions started in a Remote SSH window keep the parent summary.
- A Mermaid diagram inside a collapsed
<details>section draws correctly when the section is opened, in Markdown previews and session messages. - Saved codemaps no longer disappear on Windows.
- The “Changes” pane’s “Since last seen” cut-off survives a tab switch and a restart.
- “Mark unread” is available in the sidebar row menu for the open session and for local sessions.
