  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16199.1000]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    After executing a number of Linux commands, I scroll-up to review what I type. The history displayed is limited and only scrolling one page.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    Seems like buffer history it's been erase or truncated so when you scroll-up only a limited number lines are displayed back. It should display all commands with results of what I've done.
