Windows Terminal version

1.23.11132.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.4351

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

In Settings:

  1. Navigate to any section cannot show fully in a window. e.g, Profiles -> Defaults -> Addtional Settings -> Appearance.
  2. Make sure the focus is on terminal app window
  3. Use mouse scroller or the scroll bar, try scroll down

In any command line:

  1. Enable the settings: Profiles -> Defaults or any specific profile for following testing -> Additional settings -> Advanced -> Scroll to input when typing
  2. Executed a command which can populate long output over a window. e.g., Get-ChildItem in a path with many sub-items
  3. Make sure the focus is on terminal app window
  4. Use mouse scroller or the scroll bar, try to scroll up to check the output out of the window area.

Expected Behavior

Should be able to scroll to the position you want. In a command line, if you don't type, it should not scroll to the shell prompt.

Actual Behavior

Seems focus will be sticky to the first focusable element (in settings UI) or the last shell prompt (in command line when Scroll to input when typing is enabled), which prevent you scrolling down or up.
Also, the mouse will flash, like it's kept being captured to the incorrect focus element.

Then same issue reproduced on the release version: v1.22.11141.0.
Seems related to a WinUI issue: ScrollViewer Jumps to Top-most TextBox (UWP app)

Thanks for the report! Do you, by chance, have any extensions running on your machine? Things that interfere with mouse input, window management, focus, etc./?

Just like in the thread you linked, nobody over here can reproduce it . . . so we're looking for some extrinsic factors 🙂
