Empty spaces - Exponential backoff?

[hediet]

The converging space sequence might be coincidence:

The sequence is:

24
9
5
4
2
2
2
1

... so maybe it is just random.

Other spooky things are going on as well:

@hediet do you know what happened to the terminal before this happened? I would see something like this happening resizing vertically up and down.

unfortunately I don't remember what happened before...

This issue seems to originate from an upstream component and is not something VSCode can fix by making a change to our code. As such, I will go ahead and close it. Please try to reproduce in Windows Terminal and report to microsoft/terminal with repro steps.

If you cannot reproduce in Windows Terminal, chances are it's fixed in a later version of Windows. You can read more about how we consume conpty here. Additionally, soon we plan on shipping conpty v2 with VS Code which should bring our behavior in line with Windows Terminal. Thanks for understanding.
