Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.22000.194, 1.11.2421.0

Other Software

I've tried this with different shells:
PowerShell (desktop edition)
PowerShell (core) 7.1 and 7.2 preview
WSL - Official Ubuntu distro

Doesn't seem to matter what shell is running inside the terminal tab.

My machine is Win 11 (latest build)

I've tested both latest stable Windows Terminal 1.10.2383.0 and Preview 1.11.2421.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect over RDP (haven't tested a local connection) - from a mac in my case
  2. Open Windows Terminal
  3. Enter Fullscreen window size (alt+enter)
  4. (optional) run a command that produces output (beyond just the upper left quadrant of screen)
  5. Disconnect RDP (in my case I use Cmd+W on my Mac)
  6. Connect RDP (right away is fine, no need to wait)
  7. Only top left quadrant of content shows
  • Even new running commands--after RDP reconnect, when only the top left quadrant shows--don't show output beyond top left quadrant
  1. Leave fullscreen and re-enter fullscreen to fix this, sometimes I have to change window size too (after leaving fullscreen and before reentering fullscreen).

This doesn't happen with other window sizes in my experience (ie maximized but not fullscreen doesn't trigger the issue).

Expected Behavior

Windows Terminal Output would remain the same. Like it does when the window is maximized (not fullscreen).

Actual Behavior

Only the top left quadrant shows until I leave/reenter fullscreen (alt+enter).
