Description: The initial bash background is hardcoded to some default (e.g. black) and cannot be colorized by printing "transparent" tabs/newlines with ANSI-ESC-codes. Only after a vertical scrollbar appears, the whitespace beyond the window hight will get the proper background color. Repeat-By: run the following command line: clear; seq 50; printf '\e[36;44m\nsome colored\ttext with\ttabs\e[m\n' Play with the parameter to seq, to keep the line within the first screen or move it offscreen. Reproduced in: - in Konsole on Kubuntu 23.04 - in the git bash for windows mintty 3.6.1 - in WSL cmd window on Windows 11
