Windows build number

10.0.19045.4412

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Build a recent commit of OpenConsole.
  2. Start a cmd shell.
  3. Set the cursor shape to Solid Block so it's easy to see.
  4. Hold down Enter and let the viewport scroll for a while.

Expected Behavior

You should only see the cursor on the last prompt of the page.

Actual Behavior

After a short while, you'll start to see a trail of ghostly cursor droppings left behind on most of the lines. They don't look like the full cursor droppings we've had in the past though - they seem to be about 25% of the usual brightness.
