Good day everyone, I am running latest version of Windows Terminal.

When SSH into server and running tmux. I cannot scroll back up (normal pane scroll) to view the output, but if I sort of pre-output before launching tmux, it works.

I am not sure is this a bug or config I am missing. My tmux.conf don't have special setting, just as below

set -g prefix C-a
set -g default-shell /usr/local/bin/bash
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
set-window-option -g automatic-rename on

I have record the screen video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDYW_paU3No

I think this is a /dupe of #381 (Terminal doesn't know Tmux has switched to a mode that shouldn't have scrollback because we never tell it)
