Environment

10.0.18362.0 Terminal: 0.4.2382.0

Steps to reproduce

Maximize the terminal window. Move cursor all the way to the left of the screen and start dragging to highlight the text on that row.

Expected behavior

It starts highlighting the row you are on (the text). This is similar to putty, cmd, and powershell outside of terminal.

Actual behavior

The row you are on is not highlighted. You must click on the first character of the row, not to the left of it.

This requires for more precise highlighting to avoid missing what you want to copy and is far slower.
