I don't know if this is specific to jest, that is just how I observed this behavior. I get large "chunks" of whitespace in my terminal session when I run my tests. This doesn't happen when I use PowerShell directly or when I use the command prompt in Windows Terminal, so it looks like it is an issue with the PowerShell window in Window Terminal.

I have attached screenshots of the issue. This is just one example of the extra space. Huge chunks of blank lines appear throughout the run in the PowerShell window.
