Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11, 1.12

Other Software

Windows Magnifier on Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

Start Windows Terminal
Start Windows Magnifier
Set Magnifier type to "Full Screen"
Zoom in and open any dropdown in Windows Terminal.

Expected Behavior

Dropdowns and its items should appear as they do when zoom is at 100%

Actual Behavior

The dropdown and its items will appear out of place - or even outside of the viewport - and will be enlarged.

This was mentioned in issue #1548 and then #2954 but they got closed and no workaround was given and issue wasnt fixed.

This seems to be a Windows Terminal specific issue because dropdowns in literally any other application appear properly
