Cannot see entire task output in terminal in Linux

[alexdima]

Testing #27471

On a fresh Ubuntu 16.04

• clone https://github.com/Microsoft/node-native-keymap

• run npm install .

• open the folder in VS Code

• have node-gyp installed

• create a non-syntactical error e.g. in keyboard_x.cc add void f() { return x; }

• run build via ctrl+shift+b

• show output => observe output in the Output window and errors getting picked up by the markers service

• change the version of the tasks.json to 2.0.0

• restart VS Code

• run build via ctrl+shift+b (bottom panel collapsed)

• open terminal

• observe you cannot scroll to see the task output with the mouse wheel or with a scrollbar (there is no scrollbar). This is different from running e.g. ls -al where the terminal gets a scrollbar:

• e.g. of ls -al which has scrollbars:

I suspect this is related to this one: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/20505

I was not able to reproduce this under Linux Fedora. So I guess that this is indeed a problem with the terminal as pointed out in #20505
