Environment

Windows build number: 18362.267
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.3.2171.0

Any other software? poolmon

Steps to reproduce

Start an application like poolmon from the Windows WDK that takes up the entire screen buffer while it's running.

Expected behavior

Under the normal Windows 10 terminal, I can scroll through it with the scrollbar and the scroll wheel.

Actual behavior

Using Windows Terminal 0.3.2142.0, there is no scrollbar and using the scroll wheel does not do anything either. Hovering over where the scroll bar should be makes it appear, but there is no actual bar, only up and down arrows.

(By the way, if anyone knows what's up with that PEPI memory leak you'd be my hero but that's another story, I guess.)
