Steps to reproduce

  • Make Windows Terminal small
  • Launch cmd.exe
  • Write lots of text, more than fit into the viewport

Expected Behavior

No flickering and everything works as if there's infinite scrollback.

Actual Behavior

To bring my feelings across I wrote a haiku:

The window flickering was hell.
The scrolling drained me of life's happiness.
Cooked read drives me nuts.
