new terminal adds too much space

[musm]

please see above. Note I have to scroll back to get to the prompt

[randy3k]

Is it cmd.exe or anything else?

[musm]

I tried CMD and pwsh.exe, same issue

[randy3k]

could you turn on the debug on and send me the log when the terminal is launched.

[musm]

how do i turn debug on ?

console log doesn't show anything useful after opening terminus

[randy3k]

There is a setting in Terminus settings.

There should be some output before these when the panel is just created.

[musm]

I updated the log with more extended output. Let me know if this is better.

For some reasons, your process is sending a lot of new lines to Terminus (see those <esc>[0k<newline> in the log. I believe it is not an issue of Terminus, but an issue of cmd.exe or whatever you are using. Another possibility is that a Sublime Package is mysteriously sending these new lines to Terminus.
