Environment

Windows build number:Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.592]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview v0.8.10091.0

Actual behavior

Works Fine with CMD.exe but when I use CMD in Terminal vertical Scrolling automatically disabled and works only if I use the Scrolling bar in Terminal but that is only for sometime. Then again it stops scrolling. I even cannot see the contents after one page is full.

I'm not totally sure I understand what the problem is here - this could be any number of things:

  • #545 Mouse-mode input doesn't work for commandline-line apps in the Terminal
  • #979 Some trackpads don't work for scrolling the Windows Terminal
  • #4120 exceeding historySize variable set in profiles.json stops scrolling from happening

Do any of those sound like what you're seeing?

The Problem was, I wasn't able to scroll neither with two finger gesture nor mouse wheel.
But after reading #979 , I found that the problem was due to the software X-Mouse Control. And after disabling Scroll Window under Cursor. It is working fine now.
Sorry for the duplication. And, Thanks for your help.
