Re: BUG: terminal vim 9.0.1506 x64 window 10

The Windows console is what was originally the console in MS-Windows.
Perhaps people refer to it as command.com or cmd.exe.
AFAIK this is available on every MS-Windows installation without
additional downloads or apps.

Windows terminal is a very recent development that aims to replace the
console. It is actively being improved.
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-terminal/9N0DX20HK701
AFAIK this is intended as a replacement for the console and is
officially supported by Microsoft.

JPSoft has its own terminal, right? There must be dozens of alternatives.
Vim can't possibly add code to support each peculiarity of each of them.
I'm not sure what generic problem exists that is not terminal-specific.
