Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/17154

State: closed
Merged: No

Summary of the Pull Request

When switching to a application that uses the alt buffer, the cursor continues to use the alt buffer applications cursor type when switched back to the main buffer.

I think that this is from this logic in Terminal::UseMainScreenBuffer().

Based on these comments, I made the updates in AdaptDispatch::CursorRestoreState where it looked like it was restoring the cursor position.
