Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.18362.356

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a bash shell in a conhost window.
  2. Press enter a few times until you reach the bottom of the viewport.
  3. Run cmd.exe to switch to a cmd shell.
  4. Run the ver command, just to get something in the command history.
  5. Press F7 to view the history.

Expected behavior

I'd expect the history window to popup showing the ver command I'd just entered.

Actual behavior

The history window does open, but part of it is invisible. It appears to be cut off at the point where the console transitioned from the bash shell to the cmd shell.
