Windows Terminal version

1.22.2702.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.5011

Other Software

cmd.exe
bash.exe (wsl1)

Steps to reproduce

get some output from dir or from ls -alR so that the windows scrolls.
then scroll up
then write anything.
conhost.exe scrolls to the input line. openconsole.exe does not.

also, if a program outputs data while you are "scrolled up", conhost scrolls down.

This is a matter of taste and preference and If I where you I would put a flag in the Terminal scrolling section.

Expected Behavior

Scroll to the last line on keypress or on output.

Actual Behavior

The scroll stays where it is.

I repeat: this is not a big deal... and it's a matter of taste.. but I would put the flag in the preferences.
