Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd] 10.0.19041.388
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1811.0 + recent preview

In #4493 @miniksa pointed out that the state should be a member of SCREEN_INFORMATION rather than a static variable in WriteConsoleAImpl. Refer to
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/4493#discussion_r389024806
In the current code base it's still in WriteConsoleAImpl though.
d0ff5f6b5e/src/host/_stream.cpp (L1107)
Since I closed the PR I just don't want this information to get lost.
