[Teemu]

Works for me (with Windows Terminal). Maybe it's your terminal?

[thorstenkampe]

Empty lines are displayed in ConEmu and the standard Windows cmd terminal (conhost). In the new Windows Terminal (WindowsTerminal.exe) they are not displayed. Please reopen this issue.

[Teemu]

I am not sure if this is worth debugging if it works for 99% terminals. I am totally open if anyone wants to do a proper investigation why this happens with ConEmu.

[thorstenkampe]

As I wrote in my last comment, the issue is visible in the standard windows conhost terminal. That means it does not work for 99% of terminals.
