Debounce Terminal Cursor Movement

[hediet]

The gif doesn't show it, but for me it looked like the cursor jumps with 60hz:

I don't think anyone uses high frequence cursor movements for pwm purposes, so I suggest to debounce rendering a bit when high frequency updates are detected.

This is a Windows problem that will be fixed by new conpty stuff 👇. We shouldn't do anything here as we're getting instructions from the pty and executing them as is. We're probably going to have a bad time if we try to change these instructions.

Just debouncing the move will also make the terminal feel laggy in other ways.

This issue seems to originate from an upstream component and is not something VSCode can fix by making a change to our code. As such, I will go ahead and close it. Please try to reproduce in Windows Terminal and report to microsoft/terminal with repro steps.

If you cannot reproduce in Windows Terminal, chances are it's fixed in a later version of Windows. You can read more about how we consume conpty here. Additionally, soon we plan on shipping conpty v2 with VS Code which should bring our behavior in line with Windows Terminal. Thanks for understanding.
