Originally created by @slothrop49 on GitHub (Sep 5, 2020).

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.450]
Windows Terminal Preview 1.2.2382.0

Any other software?
No

Steps to reproduce

Open Terminal
Open PowerShell (7.0.3)
SSH into router (Asus AX88U)
run any command where the output is wider than the Terminal window

Expected behavior

Output will wrap when at end of line.

Actual behavior

Test stops at end of line - wider window more text, narrower window less text

Running SSH from PowerShell directly produces expected behaviour (wrapping)- the problem only exists if PowerShell is started from Terminal. Text wrapping in Terminal is normal otherwise (when not using SSH).

When you SSH to your router, can you run echo $TERM; stty -a?
What command are you usually encountering this with?

stty is not complied in to Asuswrt (or Asuswrt-Merlin which I use) not available from entware, so I get
xterm
-sh: stty: not found

I first noticed this where I was looking at Firewall stats /jffs/scripts/firewall stats search ip 10.55.63.150 10 , but I get this with any command where the output extends beyond the terminal width - e.g. if i run dig in a narrow window

As noted originally, this only happens if Terminal > Powershell > ssh. or Terminal > Cmd >ssh. If I run run Powershell > ssh directly (Windows inbuilt or 7.0.3) or Cmd > ssh then I get the expected text wrapping.

So, this is a long shot. Can you grab a "debug tap" trace for me? It'll capture your input and output, and I'm interested in figuring out whether the data is getting lost in Terminal or in the layer underneath terminal.

Here's the info:

Sorry to be dense but I cannot get 'debug tap' to work, I have tried adding
"debugFeaturesEnabled": true,
to settings.json, both directly under "defaultProfile" and then under "defaults"

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, there's a typo in that comment. The setting is "debugFeatures": true, and just put that directly under defaultProfile, not under defaults. Sorry for the confusion!

I have set "debugFeatures" and it is now working. With this enabled the content in the left hand window is now wrapping correctly. How do you want the data output saved and sent (e.g. 2 x plain text files or something else).
