Environment

Windows build number:
Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19041.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
1.0.1811.0

Any other software?
WSL2 Ubuntu20.04

Steps to reproduce

pwsh
wsl
[backspaceKey]

Expected behavior

Nothing will happen, the cursor will not move any more

Actual behavior

The cursor is always blinking, it moves to next line then move back.
In WindowsTerminal
I am not sure is it a bug of windows terminal or WSL.
WSL says

If this is a console issue (a problem with layout, rendering, colors, etc.), please post the issue to the Terminal tracker: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues

so I come here.
When I do this in VSCode Remote-WSL, it won't happen, but when I do it in VSCode Terminal or cmd directly, it will happen.
