Task terminal sticky scroll bug after being cleared #280025
Description
Type: Bug
With the following task.json (and a sufficiently small terminal), running the task twice makes the terminal sticky scroll feature bug, as the command is not printed twice after the task's terminal is cleared.
This is very similar to #199305
