Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.867]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.7.572.0

Any other software? git-bash v2.30.1.windows.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open git-bash
  2. Press backspace button multiple times in a row

Expected behavior

No blinking (probably related to #9111).

Actual behavior

The whole terminal blinking (see attached gif). It looks like it switches text and background colors between them, gut it's just a guess.

Also, I'm able to reproduce it on 2 of 3 my PCs, let me know what I can provide additional to investigate this issue.

git-bash itself works fine.

The gif of the issue:

@timocov - the blinking you see is a visual bell, which is a feature of git-bash. You can turn it off (please see https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7200 for instructions)
