Which ssh client are you using? ssh.exe, one that ships with WSL, some other one?

How are you trying to scroll in ctop? With the arrow keys? With the mouse wheel?

I'm using the ssh client included with Git Bash. I'm trying to scroll with the arrow keys.

Hokay, so this is a long shot, but this might actually be #6737

So, weird question ... if you use the SSH client included with Windows, does it suddenly work? You can run it directly from C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe.

Interesting, it seems to work fine using Windows SSH client. I'd like to note that it used to work using the Git Bash SSH client.

Thanks for the confirmation. That definitely makes it a /dup of #6737, which should be addressed by #6859
