Originally created by @egmontkob on GitHub (Nov 8, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  • produce more than a screenful of data, e.g. cat a file, or ssh to a Linux box and then:

    seq -f 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog %.f' 100
    
  • narrow the window so that the onscreen parts begin to wrap

  • optionally widen it back

  • scroll back

Expected behavior

The entire scrollback should be rewrapped, just like the onscreen bits.

Actual behavior

Each line of the scrollback is truncated to the narrow width.

Hey so I'm sorting through some of our open issues, and it turns out this one's a /dupe of #1465.

Thanks for the report though! I'm hoping to get to this one (and a bunch of the related ones) this-ish month
