Environment

Windows Terminal (Preview)
Version: 0.5.2681.0

PowerShell
Platform ServicePack Version VersionString


Win32NT 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Steps to reproduce

Scenario 1 (via RDP)
From Windows Terminal Windows PowerShell shell running in a Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) Session:

clear
ls c:\ -recurse
Use 2 finger scroll gesture on touchpad -> Vertical scrolling works

Scenario 2 (via native Windows Desktop, i.e. no RDP session)
From Windows Terminal Windows PowerShell shell running in a Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) Session:

clear
ls c:\ -recurse
Use 2 finger scroll gesture on touchpad-> Vertical scrolling does not work.

Also, note that both standard "non-Windows Terminal (beta)" legacy built-in CMD and PowerShell terminals work as expected in both scenarios. I.e. All four test cases.

Expected behavior

Two-finger scroll gesture on the touchpad should work as expected just like in legacy PowerShell and CMD terminals

Actual behavior

Scrolling does not function except if one is using a Remote Desktop session.
