Weird/broken scrollback handling when using tmux at remote ssh host (alternate buffer?) #18357
Labels
Issue-Bug
It either shouldn't be doing this or needs an investigation.
Needs-Triage
It's a new issue that the core contributor team needs to triage at the next triage meeting
Windows Terminal version
1.22.3232.0
Windows build number
10.0.19045.5247
Other Software
OpenSSH_for_Windows_9.5p1, LibreSSL 3.8.2 (also tested OpenSSH_for_Windows_9.8p1 Win32-OpenSSH-GitHub, LibreSSL 3.9.2)
tmux 3.2 on the remote host using this tmux.conf:
Steps to reproduce
Open an ssh session to a remote linux host.
test normal scrolling behaviour
look at the scrollbar and/or try to look at the scroll CTRL+SHIFT+PgUp or the mouse wheel, everything works as expected.
now run the same inside tmux:
I can still try to scroll back but I don't find the real output of my loop command.
I tested a lot of terminal emulators for windows and none of them works but Putty: Putty correctly let me scroll back when I'm in tmux the same way I do when I'm outside tmux, and that's why I guessed the issue is in the terminal and not in tmux/tmux configuration (but I know things may be more complex).
Expected Behavior
Being able to scroll previous output pages also when I'm using tmux
Actual Behavior
Previous output pages generated inside tmux are lost (I can see them with tmux internal scrollback but not in a way integrated with Windows Terminal scrolling).
