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.

This is an unfortunate side effect of the syntax highlighting plugin you're using for zsh. It has to redraw the entire line to change the colors, and terminal is very fast about updating the cursor position. We have work booked in /duplicate #6217 to fix that. 😄
