Returned on preview.1

I see the problem on macOS too, but not on Windows.

What changed between preview.1 and preview.2 is the move from .NET 8 to .NET 9 (specifically, .NET SDK version 9.0.100-preview.1.24101.2 and runtime version 9.0.0-preview.1.24080.9).

However, the problem does appear to be on the PowerShell side: when I compile a console application with the same SDK, the correct values are reported.

This bug makes the terminal experience on Unix-like platforms very frustrating.

Same for me on Debian

You can note that bash return the right values.

I suppose that the s_terminalHandle is null here:

Then it fallback to the TerminalFormatStringsInstance.Columns and TerminalFormatStringsInstance.Lines:
