Windows 10: After latest update, Windows Terminal tabs no longer go all the way to the top of the screen

Like the title says, the dreaded "short of a few pixels" regression that every tabbed application eventually develops. Any way to fix this?

Windows Terminal Release Candidate v0.11.1333.0 (1.0rc2) to Windows 10

Changes

Some of you reported that text would literally melt, so we added two new rendering options to help congeal your terminal experience (#5853)

You can use the following (global!) settings to control various aspects of our rendering engine:

experimental.rendering.software (boolean): when your graphics drivers won't stay in their lane, you can opt in for software rendering.

experimental.rendering.forceFullPaint (boolean): you can turn off the differential drawing optimization that we added--at the cost of speed, you can have full determinism.

We're now shipping the latest version of Cascadia Code (and Cascadia Mono), 2004.30 (#5867)

Bug Fixes

Terminal Competence

git log (and other paged applications) should now copy with their lines wrapped (#5771) (#5870)

We should no longer leave old search result highlights laying around for you to step on like a small plastic block toy in the dark (#5798)

CSI 2 J (the non-destructive "clear screen") will now correctly push the screen into the scrollback (#5683)

Rendering

Box and line drawing glyphs now appear at the right sizes (and actually connect with each other) (#5743)

This works in almost all fonts, but ones that do not actually have glyphs for that range will still have some unusual visual artifacting.

Hundreds of emoji should now appear to be the correct width (#5795)

A special exception was made for characters in WGL4, the old codepage 437 glyphs everybody knows and loves and also hates. They're still narrow.

Reliability

Dragging a selection while resizing the terminal is not a reasonable thing to do, but it was even less reasonable for us to crash when you did so. We now don't. (#5855)

We'll no longer crash when the clipboard gives us the classic "high five! too slow!" (#5856)

Terminal is now more robust in the face of you trying to close the same tab multiple times (#5742)

Closing a tab in fullscreen mode will no longer cause terminal to stop responding (#5809)

New Windows Terminal Preview v1.2.2022.0 update for Windows 10 July 22

Features

We're flighting very early support for a "command palette", which will provide quick access to every Terminal feature (#6635)

If you bind commandPalette (I recommend Ctrl+Shift+P), you can open a filterable list
of every action Terminal can perform.

This is a great way to find "focus mode" and "always on top" mode! (see below)

We've added two window management features, "focus mode" and "always on top" (#6804) (#6903)

Focus mode removes the tab bar and caption buttons, and always on top mode always-on-tops the window.

Right now, they're accessible via the toggleFocusMode and toggleAlwaysOnTop action bindings. They are not bound to keys by default.

Terminal has learned to pop up warning dialogs about clipboard content (thanks @greg904!) (#6631)

Pasting content over 5 KiB in length will result in a confirmation dialog.

This can be disabled with the global setting largePasteWarning (boolean, default true)

Pasting content that contains newline characters will result in a confirmation dialog.

This can be disabled with the global setting multiLinePasteWarning (boolean, default true)

There is a handful of new action bindings, none of which are bound by default:

renameTab (activates the tab title text field) (thanks @ggadget6) (#6557)

toggleRetroEffect (#6691)

setTabColor and openTabColorPicker (#6567)

This version of Windows Terminal ships with Cascadia Code 2007.15.

Changes

The rowsToScroll setting has been removed (#6891).

It was added to work around precision touchpad scrolling issues, which we fixed correctly before 1.0

Terminal will now follow the system's "lines to scroll" setting.

In addition, it will no longer scroll backwards when the system setting is set to "one page at a time"

The terminal will no longer jump to the bottom when you're scrolled up or when you have a selection (#6062)

Holding down Shift while clicking has always expanded your selection. Now, however, you can take it two or three steps further by holding down Shift and double- or triple-clicking (#6322)

You can now double-click a tab to rename it (thanks @greg904!) (#6628)

wt will now accept shorthand nt, sp, ft versions of new-tab, split-pane, and focus-tab on the commandline (#6576)

Our window borders will now always be unobtrusive, even when your system theme is light (thanks @greg904!) (#6624)

The Solarized color schemes have been updated to fix "bright black" and "normal black" having been swapped (thanks @M-Pixel!) (#6985).

PowerShell's PSReadline prefers bright black to render command parameters, which rendered (!) them totally unreadable on Solarized Dark

We can now hot reload a bunch of renderer settings like the experimental retro terminal effect and the software rendering flag (#6551)

UI

Thanks to @jtippet, Terminal's UI is now fives of times more accessible in high contrast mode (#6833) (#6910)

This includes beautiful new icons (

) (#6915)

Thanks again to @jtippet, our "new tab" button now looks much closer to the rest of the tab strip in shape and color (#6766) (#6812)

You can now start selections from the padding area (#6343)

Terminal Basics

Color representation has been significantly improved (thanks @j4james!)

In the old days (read: before 1.2), Terminal would try to map colors coming out of applications to their
nearest paletted color index. This was inherently lossy.

The pseudoconsole will now forward colors and styles emitted by applications with higher fidelity (#6506)

We've added heuristic detection for applications using the traditional Win32 console API to set "defaulted" background/foreground colors (#6698)

PowerShell in particular required additional workarounds (#6810) (PowerShell/PSReadline#1626)

This required us to break and then somewhat fix DECSCNM (full screen inversion) (#6809)

We can now render additional graphical attributes (thanks @j4james!)

SGR 4, "faint" (#6873)

Faint text will be rendered at roughly half intensity.

SGR 8, "concealed" (#6907)

Concealed text will not be visible, but it will be copyable to the clipboard and read out by screen readers.

SGR 53, "overline" (#6754)

It's like an underline, but not so much "under" as "over".

Care about SGRs a lot? Follow #6879 for yet more SGRs.

Commandline applications can now put text on the clipboard using OSC 52 (thanks @uzxmx!) (#5823)

Terminal (and conhost) will now be able to answer queries for further device attributes (DA2, DA3) (thanks @j4james!) (#6850)

Bug Fixes

You can now run wt as an Administrator from the Run dialog with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (#6860)

This is a workaround for MSFT:25907286.

This change also fixes the issue where running wt from powershell would render your existing session inoperable.

App execution aliases aren't real executables, so they've got all sorts of fun caveats!

Precision touchpads have been reined in and will no longer dispatch untold many VT mouse events on scroll (#6843)

The hard reset sequence will now properly result in the entire terminal being reset (thanks @j4james!) (#6763)

Terminal should no longer crash when you read its contents with Narrator's "scan mode" (#6447)

Performance

We've made a good number of behind-the-scenes performance improvements:

"Improved ATTR_ROW::ReplaceAttrs performance" (thanks @lhecker!) (#6573)

"Improve bitmap::_calculateArea performance" (thanks @lhecker!) (#6572)

"Recycle assorted rendering components to accelerate drawing" (#6483)

"Restore simple text runs, correct for crashes" (#6695)

"Avoid copying the bitmap on the way into the tracing function" (#6839)

"Cache VT buffer line string to avoid (de)alloc on every paint" (#6840)

"Cache the size viewport structure inside TextBuffer" (#6841)

"Cache the viewport to make invalidation faster" (#6918)
