Steps to reproduce

Given a system with multiple displays:

image

Where display 1 is 3840x2160 at 300% scaling, and display 2 is 3840x2160 at 150% scaling.

Display 2 is set to the default desktop display.

I open Terminal on display 2, it looks correct.

eg.

image

If I then drag the Terminal window to display 1, it seems to crop the rendering of the window content.

image

Clearing content (eg. by using cls) does not have any effect.

image

Resizing the Terminal window while on display 1 does seem to be enough to trigger a repaint/refresh and the full content is then shown.

Expected Behavior

Content would render fully regardless of display

Actual Behavior

Content is cropped when viewed on second display
