Description
Windows Terminal version
1.22.11751.0
Windows build number
10.0.26100.4652
Other Software
Any app with "continuous" console output apparently. Where it's not prompting for user input.
Example: ping.exe
Steps to reproduce
Example with ping
- Set
snapOnInput
andrepositionCursorWithMouse
both true, restart terminal. - Run
ping -t 127.0.0.1
and wait for it to reach the bottom so the window requires scrolling. Make the window smaller to do this faster. - Scroll up anywhere, then try to select text with the left mouse click. It will instantly scroll to the bottom.
Screencap
An observation: It doesn't scroll down if trying to select the "path" part before the prompt for some reason. Only anything starting after the prompt on the first line. See what i mean in the video.
Also note that the scrolling is not a result of the ping output, it's only when clicking. Not sure how clear that is in the video.

Expected Behavior
It lets me select text without scrolling to the bottom.
Actual Behavior
When terminal is displaying the output of apps with "continuous" output (not sure what to call it), if snapOnInput
and repositionCursorWithMouse
are both true, if you scroll up and try to select anything by left clicking, it instantly scrolls to the bottom.
Another example during an SSH session (screencap below), it also plays an error sound (no audio in the video though). This the error sound doesn't occur with all apps, just ssh as far as I've seen. I should point out that if snapOnInput
is false, but repositionCursorWithMouse
is true, terminal will still play the error sound, but at least it doesn't scroll to the bottom.
