Windows Terminal version

No response

Windows build number

No response

Other Software

Visual Studio 2022 17.6.5

Steps to reproduce

Create a C++ console application
Make sure the debugging option to "Automatically close the console when debugging stops" is unchecked
Run and exit an attached debugging session
Again Run and exit an attached debugging session

Expected Behavior

With the old windows console, it was cleared every time.

This is what should happen

Actual Behavior

When you run a second (or more) debugging session, 99% of the time it just starts at the top of the console screen overwriting existing text

Sometimes it clears it.

This is largely due to VS 2022 (I skipped 2019 so it may be in 2019) ability to leave the console open when debugging ends. If you turn off that option, this is not an issue.

Are you using the Windows Terminal, or the vintage windows console (conhost.exe)?

1.17 is the latest version of Terminal Stable, 1.18 can be found here: https://aka.ms/terminal-preview. You can then set that as the "Default Terminal Application" in the settings app (or settings UI of the Terminal), and have VS launch that one instead.

I realized that once I went to the store. I installed the preview, it appears to have fixed the issue. However, so Im closing this issue. If I see it again, Ill re-open

Seems the issue has leaked to Visual Studio Terminal as well, they say was fixed but clearly was not.
