Windows 10 Bash (Ubuntu) - How to scroll up?

I have bash installed on my W10 laptop, but one thing that is very frustrating is I can not scroll up.

Does anyone know of a way to enable scrolling with the mouse wheel? I could not find anything after many google searches.

Context: If I compile some C++ files and get a lot of errors, I can not scroll up to see all those errors.

You must set PropertiesLayoutScreen Buffer SizeHeight to the number of lines you want.

The default was 50 lines. I set it to 1000 and that's enough for me.

Right click the window frame, select "properties" from the contextual menu. In Properties, first tab, in the edit option area, tick the "QuickEditMode". That will allow you to mouse scroll.
