Description

@abhirup-dev

Environment

Windows build number: 19041
Windows Terminal version: 0.7.3
tmux: 2.6

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run command such as htop, top inside a tmux pane
  2. Press Prefix + r (:refresh-client) to refresh the tmux client
    (I actually faced this problem during the course of my but was later able to reproduce it using steps 1 and 2.

Expected behavior

Nothing should happen. The command mentioned in step 1 should continue to run without any changes. In fact, that is what happens in minTTY terminal that ships by default with WSL.

Actual behavior

The output from htop gets garbled. Only the changing parts of the text, like fluctuating RAM usage, reordering of processes gets reflected. See the given screenshots in this Reddit post.
