Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Bind a single key (not a key combination such as the default crtl+tab) to either nextTab or prevTab. I used f3 for prevTab and f4 for nextTab.
  2. Spawn multiple tabs.
  3. Either quickly press your new nextTab or prevTab keys consecutively, or press and hold them.

Expected behavior

Tab switching should work even if switching tabs quickly or holding down the respective keys.
I expect to be able to bind byobu-like keys to tab control, i.e. f2, f3, f4 and use them effectively.

Actual behavior

The application crashes.

Note: I suspect it has something to do with the tabs context menu that spawns when switching tabs.
