MSYS2 Vim buffer is stuck in the terminal window when scrolling back

[matteocoder]

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Windows Terminal Preview 1.12.2931.0

Other Software

vim 8.2.3441 (MSYS2 version, from Git Bash),
GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys).

Steps to reproduce

Prerequisite:
Create a new profile with the following command line command:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile -i -l

and start a new terminal tab using that profile.

1. Invoke a program, such as yes, whose output scrolls the terminal window, allowing you to scroll back, then press ctrl-c to stop it;
2. invoke vim, and then issue the command :version;
3. quit Vim

Expected Behavior

When scrolling back, only the output from yes should be visible.

Actual Behavior

Vim's interface remains "stuck" on the terminal window and mixes with the output of yes. The screenshot shows the issue.
