Steps to reproduce
This setting:
{
"command": {
"action": "clearBuffer",
"clear": "all"
},
"id": "User.clearBuffer.87C324ED"
},
Now clears absolutely everything, ruins the prompt:
The screen recording below shows the VS Code terminal's clear buffer action first, which behaves exactly how Windows Terminal used to behave prior to the latest update (the prompt is preserved when buffer is cleared) — then you can see Windows Terminal's new clear buffer behavior, where it destroys the prompt, highly unexpected:

Expected Behavior
Outlined and showed above.
Actual Behavior
Outlined and showed above.
