When opening a new terminal with WSL (Debian) as the default tab, it doesn't fill the available vertical space #5355

Originally created by @tovine on GitHub (Dec 3, 2019).

When opening a new Terminal window with Debian as the default shell, the height is capped to 27 lines before it starts scrolling - regardless of the actual window height. Resizing the window doesn't help either.
If I open a new tab (Debian or otherwise) it works as expected, and all subsequent tabs will work as well.

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.418]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3291.0

Any other software?
Debian WSL: Linux tone 4.4.0-18362-Microsoft #1-Microsoft Mon Mar 18 12:02:00 PST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Terminal config: profiles.json.txt

Steps to reproduce

Start a fresh Terminal with Debian as the default tab

@tovine What happens if you set the historySize for Debian to something smaller, say, 9001?

(my theory is that this is #2815 or something related)

After changing the historySize to 9001 the problem goes away.
In fact, the pain point seems to be at 32652 lines (32651 works fine).

@tovine Yep, that sounds about right. This is an integer overflow bug that's fundamentally the same thing as that other issue, so I'll close it as a dupe. Thanks for the follow-up!
