Running wslview from the WSL inside a windows command prompt seems to resize the font/window. (This bug isn't about the warnings or errors it prints, just the weird font/window behavior). I wouldn't have expected this to change the font/window size.

See attached gif to better understand what I'm describing. Thanks!
