Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1521.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set WSL profile as default one
  2. Open a lot of tabs with Ctrl+Shift+T
  3. Start closing them with Ctrl+D

Expected Behavior

Tabs should either close, or tab contents should end with Process exited with code XXXXXX

Actual Behavior

Whole Terminal app is crashing, with all sessions that were running inside it. I'm seeing this behavior on two separate machines.

It is happening randomly, most of the time it works correctly, but I had a couple of situations where entire Terminal crashed while I was doing more important things :(

This is WSL profile I have on my laptop, the other one has no theme or font settings.
