Windows Terminal version

1.18.2822.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.3570

Other Software

WSL2

Steps to reproduce

Unknown

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Symptoms are that my window keeps scrolling to the end of the view, and when I try to drag-select text, the selection box keeps disappearing. This appeared to be similar to #8047, so I tried the instructions listed there. I can see repeated keystrokes appearing
[179;34;0;1;31;1_
but I have no idea what the symbol table for this is; I'm not a windows programmer.

This just started happening today; I've made no system changes or upgraded anything. Any idea what is going on?
