Originally created by @MLSci on GitHub (Jan 7, 2026).

Windows Terminal version

1.23.13503.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enter a command, wait for it to finish outputting. Ideally the output is longer than one page.
  2. Scroll up in the window
  3. Click anywhere in the output area
  4. Notice the focus scrolls down and shifts to the bottom of the window

Note: setting snapOnInput to false fixes this issue, but the side effect is that keyboard input won't shift the focus to bottom anymore.

Note 2: if there are previous commands (other than the most recent command), clicking in the output area of them won't have this issue. It only affects the most recent output.

Expected Behavior

When clicking in the output, the focus doesn't shift. This is useful when trying to select texts from the outputs.

Actual Behavior

The focus scrolls down and shifts to the bottom of the window

Huh, that's unexpected. Would you be able to share your settings.json and perhaps a screen recording?

Thanks!

Ah, this may be an issue with experimental.repositionCursorWithMouse. Would you mind testing with that disabled/? Thanks!

Just to confirm that I tested with experimental.repositionCursorWithMouse disabled, which fixes the issue.

It'll be nice to have this variable set to false by default during installation/update, because I'm not sure how useful this feature is..

It is an experimental feature which is not turned on by default.

Thank you for confirming that disabling it fixes the issue.

It's strange that mine is set to true, even though I never tweaked this setting..
