Originally created by @nicferrier on GitHub (Jun 22, 2018).

The console as a WSL terminal looks broken in the latest builds; I'm on Windows Insider and have build:

17692.red_prerelease.180609.1317

ver output shows:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17692.1000]

Steps to recreate:

  • open a bash terminal, say, ubuntu 16 or 18

  • view a file, eg:

    view .bashrc

  • cursor down a page of lines, so the terminal has to scroll

  • see the screen garble and all the lines get compressed to the bottom line

    TERM reports xterm-256color

View is just one way to validate, I haven't been able to narrow it down but many things that do sophisticated screen are failing.

  • ls -l works
  • htop works
  • less -r works
  • emacs -nw works
  • view doesn't work
  • vi doesn't work
  • vi doesn't work in a remote ssh from the terminal
  • tmux doesn't work

Steps to test tmux:

  • apt-get install tmux
  • tmux new-session
  • ls -la
  • see the results are garbled at the bottom line

I'm not sure when this broke as I haven't used it that much in the past week.

Any help?
