Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.23.20211.0
### Windows build number
10.0.26100
### Other Software
I'm connected to this machine via RDP (using Windows App on an Mac).
### Steps to reproduce
Longer output on screen, if I scroll up and try to mark text via mouse, terminal immediately scrolls back down (to the end) and the wrong text is marked.
If the setting "Beim Tippen zur Eingabezeile scrollen" - on typing scroll to current line - is turned off it works, then I can markup text everywhere. It seems the mouse button triggers a key pressed?
### Expected Behavior
Scroll up and allow to mark/copy text via mouse even if typing scrolls to current line is active.
### Actual Behavior
It scrolls down to current line

Research direction
Reproduce on Windows Terminal 1.23.20211.0 with “scroll to current line on typing” enabled, using a long output and an RDP session from Windows App on Mac. Start by tracing mouse text selection alongside the scroll-to-current-line behavior; done means selecting or copying text after scrolling up does not jump back to the current line.
