Could you share your settings.json file/?

I think this is just the result of having a light color scheme (i.e. you've got a whitish background color), with a dark theme (which gives you a light scrollbar). The scrollbar is rendered with a level of transparency, so the underlying background color shows through, but when both the scrollbar and the background are light, the result is essentially invisible.

Thank you for your attention, but what I want to express is not that my scroll bar is invisible, but that I can't turn the page up or down. The problem doesn't seem to be related to the "setting.json" file, I have the same problem with similar terminal software, except the native console of cmd.

@qianbenhyu If you move your mouse to the right edge of the window, the scrollbar should appear, and then you can move the page up and down exactly as you do in the native console.

it seems to be related to the buffer size, I can't turn the page with the mouse, I can't turn the page even if I modify the buffer size of cmd.

I can't reproduce the issue with your settings, but I wonder if maybe something you've run has switched to the alt buffer. If that's the case, you can try switching it back like this (assuming you're using the cmd shell):

  1. Type echo (with a space)
  2. Press Ctrl+[ (which should show up as ^[).
  3. Type [?1049l
  4. Press Enter

thank twice for you, Maybe I can only use powershell in the future, not a big problem.
I try commands below, and this problem is solved in the current console, but reopening cmd appears again.
mode con cols=120 lines=400

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Mar 27, 2023):

That somehow makes... less sense? mode shouldn't be able to affect the buffer size of a Terminal tab - nor should it be changable by any CLI application...

Is there anything in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor? (or, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun?)

Does the same thing happen if you run the same command from a PowerShell tab?

If you've already got text in the buffer, like doing a dir c:\windows\system32, then run ipconfig, does the same behavior repro?

Really just trying to narrow down who is causing this.
