What is failing
We are maintaining the same sshd config on both Windows 2016 and Windows 2019. When linux ssh clients attach to a Windows 2016 server we get no repeating non-printing character spam, but on Windows 2019 we get an endless amount of "^[[153X^[[153C^M"
Where "153" is the column size of the xterm.
This makes thing difficult for expect scripts and does not occur on Windows 2016.
For example:
$ script
Script started, file is typescript
$ ssh administrator@chug09
administrator@chug09's password:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.1282]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
CHUG09# exit
Connection to chug09 closed.
$ exit
exit
Script done, file is typescript
The contents of the typescript file:
Script started on Mon 06 Jul 2020 05:41:27 PM PDT
$ ssh administrator@chug09^M
administrator@chug09's password: ^M

I know, I know...I likely need to report this to Microsoft, but thought you all might have some insight. Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the SSH connection with the listed CentOS clients against Windows Server 2016 and 2019, capturing the terminal output as shown. Compare the emitted escape sequences and terminal dimensions; done means the Windows 2019 session no longer produces repeated non-printing-character spam that disrupts scripts.
