Description

### Describe the bug

Ever since the introduction of vertical scroll bar, around 50-2? THe text stopped rendering correctly on my screen.

I am using Windows and Windows Console Host or Terminal do not make a difference.

Copilot itself cannot self-help, I tried asking to disable the scroll bar, doesn't know, cannot do it. Here's some examples of poorly placed text:

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows using Windows Console Host and Windows Terminal with version 1.0.53-2, focusing on text placement when the vertical scrollbar is present. Trace the terminal rendering and scrollbar handling, then verify that text remains aligned in the reported examples and across repeated use.
