Description
Environment
Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.1.2021.0
Any other software?
* PowerShell Core 7 (also reproducible in other shells)
Steps to reproduce
- Snap terminal to the right
- (In PS7) Type a command that fills the screen (I used
dotnet new --listbecause I'm checking my installed templates)
- Unsnap the pane (whether by dragging, maximizing, or double tapping title bar)
- Type new command (I used cd to a path I was working within)
Expected behavior
Terminal should display the new input text at the > mark (seen here in stock PowerShell 7).
Actual behavior
Terminal is currently displaying the text in the middle of the previous commands output.
I searched for snap and cursor and couldn't find this explicitly (I found a couple of related issues) - if duplicated or in progress please feel free to delete.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Windows Terminal by snapping and then unsnapping the window after a command fills the screen, using the listed PowerShell Core 7 setup and reproduction steps. Compare the cursor position with the expected and actual screenshots; done means new input appears at the prompt rather than in the previous command's output.
