Steps to reproduce

Run the program above.
It outputs a new background color every second, along with a beep.
Maximize console window (eg: double click on title)
Restore console window (eg: double click on title again)

Expected Behavior

Right after console window is restored, the background color is updated.

Actual Behavior

The background color stay the same.

WriteConsoleOutput() render characters at the top of the console area, which is invisible (you have to scroll up to see it).
Instead, it should render characters in the visible portion of the console.
Setting the console cursor at a position other than (0, 0) fix the issue. That probably why some project like Terminal.Gui are not affected (eg: cursor is usually set inside active control).
The old command prompt does not have this bug. Using AtlasEngine does not fix the issue.

This issue was partially addressed with v1.21 (not entirely sure which PR did that) and will be fully addressed in v1.22 (due to #17510). v1.22 will be released as the next Preview version next week.
