Windows Terminal version

Commit 99061ee272

Windows build number

10.0.19045.4291

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Run the following python script:

import sys
import time

sys.stdout.write('\033[37;40m\033[2J')
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.stdout.write('\033P2$p')
for i in range(1,11):
  sys.stdout.write('0;2;%d;0;0/' % (i*10))
  sys.stdout.flush()
  time.sleep(1)
sys.stdout.write('0;2;0;0;0\033\\')

Expected Behavior

The screen should clear, and the background should then slowly animate from dark red to bright red over a period of 10 seconds. This works as expected in version 1.20.10822.0.

Actual Behavior

Using a recent commit from the main branch, the screen now just remains black for 10 seconds - it never changes to red.

The problem is that the DCS sequence that alters the palette is not being passed through to the conpty client as it's received, and by the time the DCS sequence terminates, the palette will have been reset to black, so it appears to have no effect.

I believe this broke in commit 1ede023331.
