Originally created by @christianparpart on GitHub (Sep 25, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.18362.356
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.4.2382.0

Any other software?: as usual: *mine*. :-)

Steps to reproduce

echo -ne "a\tb"

Expected behavior

The terminal emulator should receive "a\tb\n" (or "\a\tb\r\n" respectively).

Actual behavior

Receives "a\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20b\n" (I'm using \x20 here, because GitHub didn't like my actual SPs :) )

I believe this is by design. To get the result you're expecting, the terminal would need to support passthrough mode, which is discussed in issue #1173.

Yep, this is definitely a subset of #1173. Conpty doesn't just act as a "dumb pipe" like a *nix pty. That linked thread, as well as #57, have lots on this topic.
