Originally assigned to: @zadjii-msft on GitHub.

Windows Terminal version

1.15.2875.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.819

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

See #10319 for the previous report, it was supposedly fixed in v1.11, but I still see this behaviour.

  1. Set "historySize": 100, for the profile.
  2. Run a script that echoes new lines
  3. Try to select text

Example script to test the issue:

Do {
	echo $(Get-Random)
	sleep 0.1
}
while ($true)

Expected Behavior

Correctly select text. It works when the history buffer is full.

Actual Behavior

The selection scrolls away from you, selecting different text.

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Jan 5, 2023):

It's like, the viewport is staying at the same place relative to the first-in-order of the selection anchors, but the second anchor is moving... down? Like, it's in the same buffer-relative position.

Almost as if the first one is being adjusted as lines scroll off, but not the second.
