Description
Environment
Windows build number: 10.0.18363.752
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): I am using native WSL terminal
Any other software? Vim
Steps to reproduce
I use Vim inside the default WSL terminal. When I click inside Vim to regain focus on the terminal, then it scrolls down 3 lines. This doesn't happen if gain focus using control tab or if I click somewhere inside Vim when I already have the terminal focused.
Expected behavior
Vim should not scroll.
Actual behavior
Vim scrolls down 3 lines.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the default WSL terminal with Vim, comparing a mouse click that restores focus with Ctrl+Tab and a click while the terminal is already focused. Done means restoring focus with a click no longer scrolls Vim by three lines.
