Windows Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0
Any other software? No
Steps to reproduce
In a non-maximized Terminal window, type (or execute a CMD file containing)
echo E[8;52;160t
where "E" is an "escape" character (X'1B')

Any progress on this issue?

Apparently Windows Terminal is abandoned now. In four years nobody from the mothership has even bothered to respond to this report.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a fork that is still actively developed, or should I revert to using conhost which still seems to be seeing improvements, and supports such advanced functionality?

steviator buddy a PR was merged for #5094 over in #17721 like, a month ago. Terminal is still very actively maintained. I'd follow #5094 for updates, rather than a random duplicate thread.
