The issues I am experiencing seem to be very similar to:

https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2740
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/1307

Which presents as :

  • using WSL Ubuntu distros (18 and 20) and launching the terminal
  • ssh'ing into a remote server
  • using bash (have not tried other shells)
  • entering text in terminal
  • using the arrows keys to move back into already written text
  • attempting to insert new text overwrites existing text
  • hitting cntrl-e to bring the cursor to the end of line seems to cause all the text to rewrite and display correctly (i.e. the terminal seems to rewrite and it has the correct inserted text in the correct location)

As mentioned, this behavior is reproducible in Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 (both installed via Microsoft store).

Environment

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0

Steps to reproduce

steps to reproduce are documented above

Expected behavior

text would insert at the appropriate cursor location

Actual behavior

text inserted after moving the cursor back over existing text is overwriting rather than inserting.

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/125
and
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1947
