1.15.2874.0, 1.16.2641.0

### Windows build number

10.0.19043.0

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

type several word in shell command line and press backspace.

### Expected Behavior

Backspace deletes character left unstead od whole words

### Actual Behavior

In Power Shell or Cmd running in Windows Terminal, pressing backspace deletes whole word left instead of character left. It's interesting, once ssh to remote linux host from that powershell window, backspace behavior becomes normal. I found it on my home PC and on at workplace's PC.
