Link to issue number:
Blocked by microsoft/terminal#6986.
Summary of the issue:
It was mentioned in microsoft/terminal#6453 (comment) that some new console text can actually appear below the visible range, making it completely inaccessible to NVDA.
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
No longer bound the console's text info to the visible ranges on 21H1 and later. This will require upstream changes by Microsoft to maintain usability in the console after this PR.
