I just updated to 0.2.1831.0 in 18950.1000. In an Ubuntu shell (now WSL 2), I can't scroll back the buffer. It looks like the flashing cursor is pulling the focus back to the bottom line every time I try to scroll up with both the keyboard and the mouse wheel.

It also looks like a new line is sent on every scroll up too, so the text I want to see gets further away on each attempt!

Powershell and Dos windows do not do this
