Description

### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

windows 10.0.183631743, terminal 1.10.1933.0 preview

### Other Software

openSUSE tumbleweed 202108xx in virtual box
SSH for windows 8.1p1
tmux 3.2a
Z-Shell 5.8

### Steps to reproduce

start the openSUSE VM, connect to it in windows terminal via ssh, and run `tmux` in windows terminal, you will see the `^[[>0;10;1c;` as mentioned in [tmux: #2844](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/2844).

I have tried PuTTY and MobaXterm 20, this issue seems only be reproduced in windows terminal. and the maintainer of tmux thought it's a bug/incorrect behavior from terminal, could you help to investigate this problem?

### Expected Behavior

the `^[[>0;10;1c;` should not be printed on screen.

### Actual Behavior

the `^[[>0;10;1c;` printed on screen.

Reproduce the issue by connecting from Windows Terminal to the openSUSE VM over SSH and running tmux, then compare the behavior with PuTTY or MobaXterm. Start by investigating the terminal behavior associated with tmux issue #2844; done means the `^[[>0;10;1c;` sequence is no longer printed in Windows Terminal.
