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) :

- 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.
