Environment

Windows build number: [19041.208  wsl ]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1251.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Single click.
  2. Hold SHIFT and single click an unselected region.

Expected behavior

Region between two click should be selected.

Actual behavior

region between two click hasn't been selected.
I remeber this feature has been released in "Windows Terminal Preview v0.9.433.0", said: "You can now hold down Shift and click to extend your selection (#4404)". But in recent releases, it gone.
