Steps to reproduce

Hard to say definitely because it's only the second time it's happened, but it happened after doing similar things so I guess it's somehow related to too much scrollback data or something?

Anyway, I had multiple terminal tabs open - all running SSH sessions inside WSL (Debian), there were significant amounts of scrollback text in most of them, and when I used the scroll wheel of the mouse to get back down to the bottom the entire window just crashed and disappeared.

The mouse is a Logitech one with the free running wheel, so maybe it got a lot of scroll events too fast to handle or something?

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

The whole window just disappeared, killing all my active sessions.
