Scrolling via mousewheel in the terminal scrolls by a lot on Windows (~12 lines) #35111

Testing #34868

Scrolling using the mouse wheel appears to scroll a constant number of lines, regardless of the terminal height, which can become very confusing:

emoji-test.txt

  • save this file as UTF8 with bom (I think it is already)
  • configure "terminal.integrated.scrollback": 5000
  • run chcp 65001
  • run cat emoji-test.txt

This is using all the defaults:

  • the editor scrolls by ~5 lines
  • native PowerShell scrolls by ~3 lines
  • our integrated terminal scrolls by ~12 lines

For example, in this case, scrolling via mouse wheel once has jumped over "Venezuela", which is very confusing:
terminal-scroll
