Cursor blinking snaps the viewport back to the bottom

[DHowett-MSFT]

I just updated to 0.2.1831.0 in 18950.1000. In an Ubuntu shell (now WSL 2), I can't scroll back the buffer. It looks like the flashing cursor is pulling the focus back to the bottom line every time I try to scroll up with both the keyboard and the mouse wheel.

It also looks like a new line is sent on every scroll up too, so the text I want to see gets further away on each attempt!

Powershell and Dos windows do not do this

And of course, a reboot fixed it.

This might be a WSL problem, as I'd just upgraded my Ubuntu to WSL 2.

Ah shoot. I was really curious what was causing that. I'd be really shocked if it was a WSL problem if it worked in conhost ("powershell" and "dos" windows) but not the Terminal.

Was there a particular shell or program you were running that caused the behavior to start?

I guess if it's not repro'ing anymore we'll need to close this, but we can always re-open if we get a lead.

hello I have the problem too
at the version 0.3.2142.0 download in win store
In cmd/WSL/PowerSheel it doesn't work well

using key map to scroll works
using wheel not

I've reboot macnhie and softare both,and reinstall win Termibal could not solve it

This may be a different issue altogether, in that case please let me know and I will open a separate issue. But one case where I cannot scroll is with an application like poolmon from the Windows WDK that takes up the entire screen buffer while it's running. Under the normal Windows 10 terminal, I can scroll through it with the scrollbar and the scroll wheel but using Windows Terminal 0.3.2142.0, there is no scrollbar and using the scroll wheel does not do anything either.

Currently running on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.239], Windows Terminal 0.3.2142.0
The scrolling gesture on my laptop trackpad is not working on the Terminal.

The last 3 comments all sound like #979, so I'll redirect y'all to that thread.

[adrianghc]

I saw that issue but mine is different because it is unrelated to touchpad usage, under my scenario scrolling doesn't work even with mouse or keyboard.

[zadjii-msft]

@adrianghc Can you file a new issue then? Preferably with screenshots :)

[adrianghc]

@zadjii-msft Done. #2364

We never got a lead on this, I think, and the repro disappeared. Closing. Feel free to ping me to reopen if it's not covered elsewhere.
