Windows Terminal Preview v1.23.11752.0 has been released, featuring various bug fixes and enhancements. The update introduces new features, including a bold display of SGR 1 for ITU indexed colors, the elimination of validation errors for icon and background image paths, and the default binding of "Clear Buffer" to Ctrl+Shift+K. This feature also includes support for OSC 52, allowing for clipboard writing when activated. Additional bug fixes encompass IMEs such as Tencent's QQPinyin, the correct handling of Sixel images in modified ranges, and enhanced focus on pane swapping. The settings UI now features previews for the starting directory, tab title, background image, answerback message, and bell style. The WPF control now automatically uses its own box drawing and block element glyphs, can receive OSC 52, and uses the new TSF system for better compatibility and easier use. The anticipated release is scheduled for August.
