Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.1.2021.0

Steps to reproduce

Run any program which re-writes a line of text (such as a python script which overwrites the current line by moving the cursor up and clearing it, and then re-writing a new line- and does this action frequently in a loop, and attempt to resize the window.

Expected behavior

Resizing the window should not affect the text at all, it should remain as it was properly printed before the resize.
Like so: https://gyazo.com/33d6e441d0bb8105ec118c6a9e69f900

Actual behavior

The text being constantly overwritten is printed multiple times as if the line up and line clear ansi escape codes are not properly functioning while the windows is being resized.
