Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.30]

Steps to reproduce

Just type any command that will fill your terminal window.
eg. C:\Users\Microsoft>dir

Expected behavior

I should be able to scroll to top of the page to see previous results using mouse/touch pad.

Actual behavior

I am not able to scroll to the top in the new Windows Terminal but I am able to scroll in the old command prompt.

What's your historySize in your profiles.json file? (In what ever profile you're using in that session)

Just use Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down Arrow to scroll Up or Down. Or customize the shortcuts in the settings file (profiles.json)

Hi @varungupta3009 , I know the keyboard shortcuts that's why I mentioned that I am not able to scroll the terminal window using laptop touchpad ( Synaptics Touchpad) while I am able to scroll using an external mouse.
