This is a deal-braker to me. Anyway to make it stop doing it? Maybe a envvar? Or is this a tcell behavior?

Research direction
Reproduce the scrollback loss after exiting micro on the listed Windows 10 terminals, then determine whether the behavior belongs to micro or tcell. Done means identifying the responsible component and either preserving the scrollback buffer on exit or documenting why that cannot be changed.
