User Experience:
Users who rely on screen reader would be impacted and not able to get which tab is open as same name "Windows Powershell" is defined for all the tabs.

Test Environment:
OS: Win 10 2004 Build (20262.1010)
App: Windows Terminal
App version: 1.4.3243.0
Tool: Accessibility Insights for Windows

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Windows terminal app.
  2. Press "Ctrl+Shift+T" to open multiple tabs.
  3. Now run accessibility insight tool on the application.
  4. Observe the issue.

Actual Result:
Same name as "Windows Powershell" is defined for all the tabs. So when screen reader focus navigates to any tab then narrator just announces it as "Windows powershell editing space".

Expected Result:
Unique name should be defined for each tabs.
For e.g. Name should be defined as "Windows powershell 1" for 1st tab item and so on.
