Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.22.2912.0
### Windows build number
10.0.22631.0
### Other Software
OpenSSH_for_Windows_9.5p1
### Steps to reproduce
You can repoduce this bug by opening an the preview version of Windows Terminal. I usually have default profile for pwsh, and once inside of terminal open up an ssh session to a remote windows computer with sshd configured. With the preview version of Windows Terminal, when you type something inside of the ssh session overwrites the text over the current folder i.e. `PS C:\Users\Somebody`. When switching back to the non-preview version of Windows Terminal and repeating the same steps everything works normally.
### Expected Behavior
I expect the terminal not to overwrite to behave in a way it doesn't overwrite current folder i.e. `PS C:\Users\Somebody` part. Presently, it makes it really hard to execute any commands, especially because pwsh also doesn't support clearing the console buffer (some error about invalid cursor handle, I think this implies it's not using vt escape sequences or terminal is not translating these commands).
### Actual Behavior
When you ssd into an windows machine and for example when you type the clear command, it displays on the screen as `clear\Users\Somebody>`. It doesn't matter what environment you sshd into cmd, powershell, pwsh all had the same problems of overwriting.
