# Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.685]
Windows Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

In a non-maximized Terminal window, type (or execute a CMD file containing)
echo E[8;52;160t
where "E" is an "escape" character (X'1B')

Expected behavior

Terminal window size should resize to 52 lines by 160 columns

Actual behavior

No change in Terminal window size.
Old Windows Console (CMD.EXE) resizes to 52 columns by 160 columns.

Documentation: from https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html
CSI Ps ; Ps ; Ps t
Ps = 8 ; height ; width ⇒ Resize the text area to given
height and width in characters. Omitted parameters reuse the
current height or width. Zero parameters use the display's
height or width.

Apparently Windows Terminal is abandoned now. In four years nobody from the mothership has even bothered to respond to this report.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a fork that is still actively developed, or should I revert to using conhost which still seems to be seeing improvements, and supports such advanced functionality?

@steviator buddy a PR was merged for #5094 over in #17721 like, a month ago. Terminal is still very actively maintained. I'd follow #5094 for updates, rather than a random duplicate thread.
