Hello everyone When I run vim or tmux I can scroll. And I get my past entries in the buffer. On real Linux distributions, this is not present. How can I fix this?

I believe the problem is that Windows Terminal isn't aware that VIM has switched to the alternate buffer, which is what would usually prevent the scrollback from being visible. In which case this is a duplicate of issue #381.
