Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview Version: 1.5.3142.0

Any other software? None that should affect this

Steps to reproduce

Set

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
    "tabSwitcherMode": "inOrder",

and custom keybindings for nextTab and prevTab, e.g.

    "actions":
    [
        { "command": "nextTab", "keys": "shift+a" },
        { "command": "prevTab", "keys": "shift+b" }
    ]

Open two tabs or more. Fiddle with the custom keybinds, keep modifier down and press e.g. a key multiple times. Compare to standard ctrl-tab or control-shift-tab bindings.

Expected behavior

Behaviour of nextTab and prevTab is the same with custom bindings as default bindings

Actual behavior

Tabs get changed seemingly randomly. E.g. with four tabs, nextTab second press (modifier kept down) gets stuck to first tab, prevTab to third tab.

Notes

This is not very important, I can personally get the behavior I want by setting tabswitcher to "disabled". Still, this is something that clearly is unexpected, or rather, wrong behavior.
