windows terminal: NVDA reads invisible lines when using pagers such as less and more #13157

Description

@OSadovy

Steps to reproduce:

  1. launch windows terminal with wsl2 (tested with ubuntu 20.04)
  2. run command which pages its output, for example man test
  3. press nvda+numpad7, observe that NVDA navigated to the beginning of man output with command synopsis: press numpad9 a few times to hear "TEST(1) User Commands TEST(1)"
  4. press space bar to scroll the page down, you may repeat a few times to see the full effect
  5. press shift+numpad7 again to go to the top
  6. try to read following lines, press numpad9

Actual behavior:

NVDA reads the command output from the very beginning, as if no pagination appeared: "TEST(1) User Commands TEST(1)"

Expected behavior:

NVDA should read only the last page displayed. It worked like that before and it also works like that when using wsl in windows console (without the new windows terminal)
