Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.0, 1.7.1033.0

Other Software

Not other software, but I notice your default Windows Terminal version listed above is higher than my terminal version. I obtained mine from the Windows Store yesterday, so maybe this is fixed in a later version and you have yet to release that to the store?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows Terminal command line.
  2. Attempt to create a new split window (vertical or horizontal) and set --tabColor
  3. When typing past 1 character of tabColor, the terminal window will crash.

Expected Behavior

For me to be able to type out my color value and not crash.

Actual Behavior

Window crashes.

Wait, does the terminal that you're typing in crash, or does the terminal that launches crash?

What shell are you using?

  • I am using a single Windows Terminal window. I default to my PowerShell profile. I get the issue when attempting to use: sp -H -p PowerShell --tabColor #FFFFFF in the 'command pallet'. The Windows Terminal itself crashes, taking all tabs I have with it.

What shell are you using?

  • I default to PowerShell, but I know this crashes my Windows Terminal window no matter which profile/shell I'm using.

Oh wow okay yep, that clears it up. Didn't realize it was the command palette! That crashes instantaneously. That we can work with, thanks!
