I know so-called "bug behavior" is normal for linux or others systems, but I really need something act as the original cmd.exe does, perhaps I missed some configs?thanks

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the behavior with Windows Terminal, cmd.exe, and `ping -t 8.8.8.8`, then trace the output-scrolling behavior and how settings are defined. Done means a `snapOnOutput` setting can force new output into view while the user is scrolled up, matching the reported cmd.exe behavior.
