Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.20262.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.4.3243.0

Any other software?
Magnifier

Steps to reproduce

Set

            "acrylicOpacity": 0,
            "useAcrylic": true

Enable magnifier, zoom to >3x while looking at the terminal to see impact clearly.

Expected behavior

Zoom on terminal, terminal background stays consistent.

Actual behavior

Transparent background grabs zoomed viewport, scales down to viewport size relative to actual, and renders this smaller image as background from top left.
