Description
### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)
OpenConsole commit 5deb332
### Other Software
NVDA 2021.3
### Steps to reproduce
Move by word in a UIA console containing the following text:
Loading file c:\test.json
### Expected Behavior
In Microsoft Word, NVDA splits the word boundaries as follows:
``` python
['Loading ', 'file ', 'c', ':\\', 'test', '.', 'json']
```
### Actual Behavior
In conhost, NVDA splits the words as follows:
``` python
['Loading ', 'file ', 'c:\\test.json \r\n ']
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a UIA console using the text "Loading file c:\test.json" with NVDA 2021.3, then compare conhost's word boundaries with Microsoft Word's behavior. Done means word navigation separates the drive, path, extension, and surrounding words as shown in the expected output.
