Description

Please fill out the below information:

  • Your Windows build number: Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134

  • What you're doing and what's happening:

  • Open a WSL
  • launch tmux by executing : tmux (having the normal tmux layout, with the green bar at the bottom) :
    image
  • Reduce the window
  • Re-open the window
    => From this point, there is an extra line below the green bar and I can type on it, also the first line on the top (the prompt) isn't visible anymore.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    Reducing / expanding the windows shouldn't create this "extra line" below the tmux green bottom bar.
    It seems that the whole display is moved 1 line ahead.

Research direction

Start with the reported WSL and tmux reproduction: open tmux, reduce the Windows Terminal window, reopen it, and compare the layout before and after resizing. Done means resizing no longer adds a line below tmux's green status bar or hides the top prompt.
