Environment

Windows build number: 18362.175
Windows Terminal version: 0.2.1703.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Terminal on a monitor with 100% scaling.
  2. Drag the Terminal app to a monitor with 150% scaling.

Expected behavior

There should still be room on the title bar to click and move the app.

Actual behavior

The gap between the drop down and the minimize button shrinks to nothing, maybe even with a little overlap. Because of #528, this means that it is likely you won't be able to move the app back after you place it. There is a small gap between the client area and below the system buttons, because the tabs are probably a little too tall for the region, but that is the only space that you can use to drag the app.
