Originally created by @Paper-Folding on GitHub (Oct 3, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

18363.1801

Other Software

Not run any software, just leave terminal open and after some time of no interaction, it is no longer able to receive any user inputs.

Steps to reproduce

Just open terminal, minimize it, keep it un-touched for some time, say five minutes at least, it will freeze input and even the window itself is not scrollable.

Expected Behavior

Use windows cmd or Powershell themselves(I mean not open them with windows terminal) with never freeze inputs.

Actual Behavior

After few minutes of no interaction with terminal, it freeze the input and even not scrollable.

What version of the Terminal are you running?

When the Terminal is frozen like this, could you grab a dump with Task Manager and send it to us?

When it's frozen like this, do the titlebar buttons still react to input? Does the New Tab dropdown still open?

I could have sworn we had some dupe of this on the backlog somewhere but I'm having a hard time finding it.

Sorry, I have uninstalled terminal for its unstable performance, thus I am no longer able to provide any detailed information.
