Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.18363.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Start Windows Terminal Preview 1.9.
For simplicity of state I only run one pane with CMD in it

Choose Settings in drop down menu of Terminal
Windows Terminal Preview crashes

settings.json must be edited manually because of this

Expected Behavior

Ability to select settings option in Windows Terminal Preview and access settings user interface

Actual Behavior

It crashes. So I use VsCode to edit the settings.json - but this is of course not the easiest way to go around editing the settings of this otherwise great terminal.

Im attaching a Bandicam screen grab showing the crash

Note that the crash happens for both install options: GitHub MSI file from Releases and Windows Store. I am using newest Windows Terminal Preview 1.9
