Originally created by @GPHemsley-RELX on GitHub (Nov 1, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11.2921.0

Other Software

Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL1)

Steps to reproduce

I can't say for sure if Windows Terminal is to blame here (as opposed to some overzealous enterprise sanitizing, for example), but I figured I'd file this just in case.

If it is, then I suspect this is vaguely what happened:

  • Install Windows Terminal via the store.
  • Have multiple instances of the same Ubuntu running.
  • Upgrade versions, which forcibly closes Terminal and its running sessions. (#6726)

All I really know is that .bash_history is now empty and a new version of Terminal was recently released.

Expected Behavior

Some copy of .bash_history (from some instance) is present. In other words, whatever it was doing before.

Actual Behavior

.bash_history is truncated and no history from any instance is available.
