📜scrollback search highlight 1️⃣ is incorrect, and 2️⃣ incorrectly snaps in response to STDOUT

[ClaireCJS]

Windows Terminal version

1.23.3232.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.5247

Other Software

Steps to reproduce

1. Hit Ctrl-Shift-F while a script is generating output

2. Enter in something to search for. I suggest “e” for bug-finding purposes.

3. Watch the highlights incorrectly dance around the screen.

4. Fail to ever find your highlighted text as long as a script is running.

Expected Behavior

1. The highlights to what I am searching for are only displayed on top of what I am searching for.

2. If I am in search/scrollback mode and more STDOUT happens, it doesn’t snap me anywhere. (currently it snaps me all over the place)

Side-note: You know what else would be nice? A pause button that suspends the process temporarily. So we can go back and find our error message before it scrolls off-buffer.

Unless your current application has disabled processed input, you can either press the Pause button or Ctrl+S to achieve this.

I actually intercept my pause key to pause the music. Thanks for the Ctrl-S tip! I thought that stuff only worked in the BBS days :)
