Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Windows Terminal version 1.10.2383.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows terminal (spawns on primary/1080p monitor)
  2. Execute commands till text reaches the bottom of the window
  3. Move window to secondary monitor (4k, 125% scaling)
  4. Text at bottom and right is cut off, and scrolling does not update the bottom of the window
  5. Input is also cut off at the bottom, so I can't see what I'm typing

Expected Behavior

The text display area should scale correctly

Actual Behavior

Window on 1080p monitor:

Window on 4k monitor:

Scrolling also seems to only affect the top 3 lines while on the 4k display?

And there's also something about cutting off the output of commands above the fold, which seems to apply regardless of monitor:

I also just accidentally discovered that resizing the window fixes both the text display area and the scrolling issue on the 4k monitor
