After quitting a full screen console application on a terminal window that has been resized while having the application opened, the new portion is not refreshed hence some remaining of the application UI sticks on the console

Environment

Windows build number:  Win32NT 10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Any other software?
VIM version 8.2
or
[wttop](https://github.com/jchomarat/wttop) version 1.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch The Windows Terminal
  2. Open a PowerShell core tab
  3. Install either vim or wttop
    a.
/> choco install vim -y
  1. open a file
/> vim test.txt
  1. Resize the terminal windows (make it bigger)
  2. Quit vim (ESC + : + q + Return)

Expected behavior

The Terminal should completely refresh

Actual behavior

We can see the bottom of the application on the terminal
