Windows Terminal version

1.15.2875.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621 Build 22621

Other Software

Ubuntu 20.04 WSL
GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
xterm-256color (Also tried screen-256color)
less 551 (GNU regular expressions)

PowerShell 7.3.0
more command

Steps to reproduce

Try to use touchpad or a regular mouse scroll to navigate within fullscreen apps like manpages or less.

Expected Behavior

Mouse scroll should work to move app content when opening full screen apps (i.e when alternate buffer should be used) such as manpages and less.

Actual Behavior

Mouse scroll does not work when using full screen app like manpages and less but works fine for VIM

Side note scrolling works as intended with VS Codes terminal so I doubt there is anything wrong with the shell configs..
