Originally created by @AndrejMitrovic on GitHub (Feb 19, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT             10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0
Git: 2.25.0 (also reproduced with 2.17.1)
Vim: 8.0 (also reproduced with Vim 8.2)

Steps to reproduce

  • Run a WSL2 instance (Ubuntu)
  • Clone any Git repository
  • Begin a rebase git rebase -i HEAD~2

Expected behavior

The cursor should be at the beginning of the line:

Capture

Actual behavior

The cursor position is not at the beginning of the line:

Capture

Other notes:

  • When running WSL (bash.exe) through the command prompt (Linux host), it works OK. But then I'm not using Windows Terminal.
  • When running Git directly on Windows with the command prompt, it also works OK. But again, it's not using Windows Terminal.

So I think this is a Windows Terminal bug.

I have also recently upgraded to a new laptop, so this is the second machine I've been able to reproduce this on.

Do you, per chance, know if Vim is trying to hide the cursor? If so, we are definitely ignoring that request and keeping it visible (and when we think it's hidden, we are lazier about updating its position.)
