Shared terminal window can only see 4 lines of hosts terminal, despite all participants having around ~30 lines visible
Describe what happened:
During a liveshare session, the host is sharing a terminal. They have their terminal height at around ~30 lines
On my vscode, I can see the shared terminal, however only 4 lines are visible, with the rest as completely black space. (See diagram).
I checked all participants, and all have the terminal window quite large, with a lot of black space where there should be lines of text.
Is this some kind of security feature? It makes terminal sharing basically unusable as we can see so little of stacktraces etc.

Screenshot shows participants view (on left), with hosts view (on right) - the host was also being shared over zoom which is why its on screen at the same time.
I have also been experiencing this bug MacOS to MacOS. I'd really love a fix, the only major issue I have with Live Share.
