Steps to reproduce

Windows 11 Home 24H2 Windows Terminal Version: 1.23.20211.0
Using PowerShell to monitor an active log file in fldigi. After opening PowerShell
lines of text are displayed properly, but as new text comes in, I get between 2 and 8 characters, then get cr new line started, it just keeps doing this as new text comes.
This makes it almost impossible to read.
If I open new PowerShell windows, all text is displayed properly.?
How can I fix this?
PowerShell Win 10 ver10.0.19041.3996 works fine, no issues. ?
This is the command line I am using. Get-Content -Path "C:\Users\username\fldigi.files\fldigi20260128.log"-wait

Expected behavior
