Windows Terminal Preview v1.22.2702.0 has been released, with various changes, including the reintroduction of wt x-save, the Command Prompt "quick fix" capability, and the return of the color scheme to the user's preference. Furthermore, Alt+Keypad Plus is no longer recognized unless EnableHexNumpad is set in the registry.

The tab switcher now shows the color of each tab and allows users to set the default input scope for the IME. Bug fixes include the "Clear Buffer" command, which removes the buffer, and the experimental.colorSelection actions. The settings UI now responds more accurately to system-wide text scaling options, and the color contrast of the "reset" button on the settings page has been improved. Terminal Emulation and Console Compatibility have been improved, with VT reports no longer garbled and the scroll console screen buffer operating more dependably.

Windows Terminal Preview v1.22.2702.0

Changes

• wt x-save was accidentally turned off in the Preview build, and has been turned on ( #17881)
• The Command Prompt "quick fix" feature was accidentally turned off in the Preview build, and has been turned on ( #17888)
• RIS (ESC c) will now return the color scheme to your preferred default if the application has modified it ( #17879) (thanks  @j4james!)
• Alt+Keypad Plus is no longer eaten unless EnableHexNumpad is enabled in the registry ( #17954)
• The tab switcher will now display each tab's color, if one is set, in addition to the other information about the tab ( #17820) (thanks  @nukoseer!)
• You can now configure the default input scope for the IME with an option on the Startup page or the JSON key defaultInputScope (enum default (default), alphanumericHalfWidth); this should allow you to force Terminal to accept English input even if you usually type in a different language ( #17953)

Bug Fixes

• The "Clear Buffer" command now clears the buffer again. Novel! ( #17884)
• In cmd and python (and other users of console line input), choosing a command from history will no longer insert it back into history a second time ( #17852)
• The experimental.colorSelection actions will once again work (after we broke them in the action refactoring) ( #17821)
• Some localizations have been updated for correctness ( #17958)
• Terminal has gotten much better about transferring focus to windows spawned by (and under, or above) hosted console applications ( #17828)
• We will try much harder to keep your scroll position from changing when you have the search box open but are not looking at the results ( #17885) ( #17316)

Accessibility

• The settings UI now responds more correctly to the systemwide text scaling setting ( #17910)
• We've fixed the color contrast of the "reset" button in the settings page ( #17912)

Terminal Emulation and Console Compatibility

• VT reports generated in response to application requests will no longer be issued without a preceding ESC character to non-ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT applications ( #17833)
• VT reports expected to be received via DCS will likewise no longer be corrupted ( #17845) (thanks  @j4james!)
• ScrollConsoleScreenBuffer now works more reliably (and correctly) with the new translation layer ( #17849)
• An empty OSC 2 title sequence will now reset the title ( #17802) (thanks  @j4james!)
• Closing the active console screen buffer (set with SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer) will now restore the contents of the prior screen buffer ( #17853)
• Unicode spacing marks (indicated in the UCD with gc=Mc) are now properly allocated cells ( #17826)

Reliability

• Closing split panes should crash roughly 50% less often ( #17886)
• Entering a control character near the end of the line in line editing mode will no longer cause a layout deadlock ( #17905)
• Resizing the window while some Sixels are displayed should no longer lead to a crash ( #17951) (thanks  @j4james!)
• The experience of typing in and searching for multiple fonts has been (questionably?) improved ( #17961)
• We should no longer crash while quitting ( #17848)
