Windows Terminal not Rendering ANSI Escapes Properly

[andrewraddatz]

When I launch julia inside of Windows Terminal, it does not render the escapes properly, which makes it very difficult to use as a REPL.

Launching julia with --color=no makes the output substantially tamer, but there are still issues on the initial line of output.

Julia has the same issue when launched directly while Legacy Console Mode is disabled (for both color and no-color modes):

But renders fine with Legacy Console Mode enabled:

imo, it's not our fault that windows terminal is broken.

I'm not trying to play the blame game, but in the past I was able to launch julia in Windows Terminal, but now I can't use it.

Older versions of julia render properly in the current version of Windows Terminal:

I don't remember when exactly it broke, but I think it was in the 1.5.X series.

This might also be related to #40016?

After the problem magically resolving itself when i moved my ~/.julia directory, I did some more digging. It looks like the issue is tied to a macro that I created to clear the screen which was called in a different macro in my startup script.

replacing the macro with its content removes the ANSI character issue.
