recording of vscode unscrollable

Hello SSH team,
There is an issue which seems to press a lot of people:
https://superuser.com/questions/1331658/why-cant-i-scroll-in-the
-terminal

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69543386/scrolling-in-the-integrated-terminal-using-the-mouse-wheel

It forbids scrolling when using `ssh` for seemingly no reason.

Works in both vscode terminal and in WSL ubuntu. As such, I am blocked
from ssh-ing into my instance and have to use jupyter online terminal
to execute my code.
Which shouldn't be the case.

I've spent 1.5 hours trying to allow scrolling but it couldn't be made.

Could you please fix it?

*I'm sure it was reported before; but should be such a simple issue to
fix that I don't know why it isn't. It stops me from reading test
output on my machine, for example.

This is a problem between your terminal and your shell. Something
(maybe your shell) is instructing your terminal to interpret mouse
wheel movements as control codes instead of handling them as it
normally would.

OpenSSH isn't in a position to fix this. You'll have to figure out
which of these is messing things up and get them to fix it. Maybe
putting a call to "reset" in your shell initialisation could be
enough.
