Windows Terminal version

conhost of Windows 10

Windows build number

Windows 10

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Run a terminal application (not Windows Terminal), let's say Git bash from Git-for-Windows.
Run a Windows shell (like wsl.exe, cmd or powershell).
Output (cat or type) a text file with ANSI escape sequences for bold, reverse, and both.

Expected Behavior

Proper rendering of character attributes, also in combination with colour attributes, true colour etc.

Actual Behavior

Attribute rendering is broken because escape sequences are mangled.
Bold is forced to render white.

Note

This bug was fixed in conhost for Windows 11. A fixed conhost.exe should also be updated for Windows 10.
