hi, there.

thank you for great product

I'm using WT version 0.9.433.0
I managed to add Far manager to list of consoles using official documentation

When I open it and execute 'dir' command new external console window gets open.
after that it starts to be possible to scroll panels in far (this does not happen if far start from CMD)

Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

What version of Far manager? I cannot reproduce this with 3.0b5225, a version I had laying around.
If this changed between Far manager versions, it is probably a Far regression...

Sorry, can you clarify the behavior further? Even with 3.0.0.5511 I cannot get an external console window to appear, even if I follow your steps exactly.

Are you referring to the behavior where Far disappears (turns black), then reappears, and the response from dir reappears when you scroll up?

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Feb 21, 2020): Sorry, can you clarify the behavior further? Even with 3.0.0.5511 I cannot get an _external_ console window to appear, even if I follow your steps exactly.

sorry for delay.
I hoped I will be able to capture video using xbox toolbar, but now it captures only one window

I removed terminal and installed last version. I have inserted configuration for far manager. I took config snippet from your docs
here it is

        {
          "name": "Far",
          "commandline": "C:\\_Work_\\_Tools_\\Far\\Far.exe",
          "startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%",
          "useAcrylic": false
        }

now after opening far I do not do anything and new console window just appears in letf top corner of the screen. I took snapshot
With red arrows I marked console window itself and terminal Icon in task bar. you may see there that there are two windows there.

Far manager still has version 3.0.0.5511 x64

Can you use Process Explorer's Find tool to pinpoint the owner of that window, and its commandline? I still can't repro :( sorry.

find tool

Drag it over the window you're curious about; hover over the process's entry in the list

I think I found reason for this issue. I believe that it is because of installed ConEmu plugin

if I use clean install of far it does not create new console window although issue with dir still there. after its usage you may scroll far panels up and down using mouse wheel

Thanks for following up! Since this window is being created by the ConEmu plugin, I'm gonna close this as external ☺️

after recent windows update FAR starts inside separate CMD inside Powershell shit. Turned out Terminal app got silently installed and that changed how FAR starts. Just uninstall Terminal app.
