Windows Terminal version

1.17.11461.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.3208

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect to a Server over SSH
  2. Create a screen (in Linux) = screen -S Name
  3. Then go into a screen and create outputs or something like that where you must scroll

Expected Behavior

i use the version v1.12.1073 because there wasnt the problem and we could scroll egal no matter how much the output was.

Actual Behavior

with the new version i cant scroll in a screen. I have try everything but nothing helps me.

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Aug 7, 2023):

This is behavior that's fairly highly preserved across terminal emulators. I wasn't sure that there were any that let you scroll the alt screen buffer.

Prior to #12561 (1.14), you could seemingly scroll the "alt buffer" in Terminal, but that was just because Terminal didn't actually support the alt buffer yet 😅

I know it's possible to configure tmux to scroll it's buffer with the mouse, but I'm not so sure about screen.
