Windows Terminal version

1.22.2912.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.0

Other Software

OpenSSH_for_Windows_9.5p1

Steps to reproduce

You can repoduce this bug by opening an the preview version of Windows Terminal. I usually have default profile for pwsh, and once inside of terminal open up an ssh session to a remote windows computer with sshd configured. With the preview version of Windows Terminal, when you type something inside of the ssh session overwrites the text over the current folder i.e. PS C:\Users\Somebody. When switching back to the non-preview version of Windows Terminal and repeating the same steps everything works normally.

Expected Behavior

I expect the terminal not to overwrite to behave in a way it doesn't overwrite current folder i.e. PS C:\Users\Somebody part. Presently, it makes it really hard to execute any commands, especially because pwsh also doesn't support clearing the console buffer (some error about invalid cursor handle, I think this implies it's not using vt escape sequences or terminal is not translating these commands).

Actual Behavior

When you ssd into an windows machine and for example when you type the clear command, it displays on the screen as clear\Users\Somebody>. It doesn't matter what environment you sshd into cmd, powershell, pwsh all had the same problems of overwriting.

@lhecker I'm putting this one on you to look at. Looks like there's something weird with openssh 9.5 and the new conpty
