Don't push the buffer contents into the scrollback on session restore about terminal HOT 4 CLOSED

So, this may sound silly, but did you scroll up after the buffer was restored/? The old buffer contents are restored into the scrollback above the new viewport

from terminal.

Oh lord. You're right. It's there and I just never scrolled up 🤦

I suppose I was expecting the window to look exactly the same as the way I left it (i.e. at the same scrolling position).

Well I'm certainly happy that it works (been desperately wanting this feature for a long time). I guess my feedback is that I would prefer an option to additionally restore the scrolling position. However I recognize that that doesn't necessarily make sense (at least in the current implementation), because the restored buffer is not actually 1:1 with the buffer from before the restoration due to the injection of the [Restored <DateTime>] events, which are actually a nice feature IMO, as they clearly log when the console was restarted.

Thanks for your response.

You're not the first person to bring this flaw up. We've talked about fixing the issue before, and I'm mostly leaning towards doing so now. However, this will increase the startup cost quite a bit, as the cursor position after session restoration needs to be synced up, etc.

I do think if that "fix" is added, it would be best as an optional setting (maybe even non-default), as I can definitely see people (perhaps even myself at times) preferring the current behavior. I'm guessing that would also mean people could opt into/out of the additional startup cost, maybe. Just my 2 cents.
