Window is not cleared

[ygoe]

Windows Terminal version

1.21.3231.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.4602

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Set Terminal as the default terminal app in Windows 11
2. Run a console application from Visual Studio
3. Don't close the temrinal tab
4. Run your app from VS again

Expected Behavior

Normal rendering of output in an empty window.

Actual Behavior

Most of the time, when starting your app from VS, the terminal window is cleared and the new app output is shown.

Sometimes, and then often in a row, the old content remains visible in the terminal and the new output is "printed over it". Any content that isn't written by the new app output remains there. This is completely unreadable.

The only solution is then to stop the app, close the terminal tab or window, and run the app again to have it print its output in a clean window.

Looks like the same, but it's closed and forgotten, so we need a new issue for the open bug.

Visual Studio tries to reuse the same console window for debugging sessions. This is a bug in their debug session broker. You may need to file a bug on their Developer Community forum.

Terminal is not in charge of session reuse.

I've never seen this bug before switching to Windows Terminal. Is the bug in Visual Studio only applying to this terminal host app?
