Research direction
Start with the issue's screenshot and the reported Windows Terminal version 1.7.1033.0; the reproduction steps do not identify a reliable trigger. Investigate the scrambled prompt, cursor position, and misplaced previous commands, then confirm that prompt rendering and cursor alignment remain normal when the problem can be reproduced.
