Incorrect behavior of "review bottom line" in Windows Console #10119

@codeofdusk

Description

@codeofdusk

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Invoke "review bottom line" (desktop layout: shift+numpad 9).

Actual behavior:

On Windows 10 1803, the last line of output is read as expected, but the review cursor is placed out of bounds: after invoking "review bottom line", blank lines at the end of the output become accessible that previously weren't.

On Windows 10 1903, NVDA says blank. "read current line" also reports blank, but attempting to review the next line says "bottom" followed by the last line of output.

Expected behavior:

The last line of output is reported and the review cursor is placed there. The review cursor stays within the console bounds (i.e. no blank lines are exposed when the script is invoked).
