Description

I encountered this problem when using conhost as my console host on Windows Server Insider Preview build 26525. If I launch edit.exe directly, edit.exe activates the window's horizontal scroll bar, which causes the bottom bar to be truncated.

This problem doesn't occur when I launch edit via cmd/ps.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows Server Insider Preview build 26525 with conhost, launching edit.exe directly and through cmd or PowerShell. Compare the horizontal scrollbar and bottom bar in both cases; done means direct launch no longer causes the bottom bar to be truncated.
