neovim errors when using mintty #1239

I've run into some bugs when using neovim on mintty (msys2 on Windows 10). The first is that my terminal is "cleared" after running and exiting neovim:

nvim-before1
nvim-after1

The previous terminal commands are erased and the prompt starts on the next line after them. In contrast, vim and other full-screen CLI apps work as expected after exiting and don't clear my terminal output. This behavior is also the same on my Windows 11 machine.

Another bug is that I enabled underlining in neovim, but it only underlines the portion of the line with text, rather than the whole line.
msys_neovim1

However, this only occurs on my Windows 10 machine. On my Windows 11 machine with the same setup, the underline works as expected.
