Description
I have a full screen application written with prompt toolkit.
self.app = Application(layout=layout, full_screen=True, mouse_support=True...)
The application works fine in Mac and Linux envs. But cannot scroll in Windows 10 command prompt. What is the reason for this and can it be fixed? Or is there an alternative (like enabling scrolling with keyboard)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shown Application configuration with mouse_support=True in a Windows 10 command prompt, then compare its scrolling behavior with the reported Mac and Linux behavior. Trace the Windows terminal input path and determine whether scrolling can be supported or whether a keyboard alternative should be documented; done means a verified fix or a clear limitation and workaround.
