Windows Terminal version

Windows Terminal Preview Version: 1.15.1862.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1766

Other Software

Seems to be on anything I have open in terminal

Steps to reproduce

Open 3 terminal tabs, PowerShell 7.2.5, Windows PowerShell 5.1, or command prompt. Set a keybind to toggle pane read-only mode (mine is set to ctrl-shift-), then toggle one of the tabs to read-only. Click on the 3 tabs in any order. Pop-up stating "Read-only mode enabled" appears both switching to AND from that read-only tab to/from other tabs.

This doesn't happen in my currently installed non-preview version Windows Terminal Version: 1.13.11431.0 (I should probably update, but I don't use the non-preview version much)

Expected Behavior

Personally, no popups at all, but if you have to, only when switching to the read-only tab. I did not try with split panes, I don't use them much, though I like the feature in theory.

Actual Behavior

Pop-up stating "Read-only mode enabled" appears both switching to AND from that read-only tab to/from other tabs.

I did discover that you can't set the settings tab to read-only, though I can live without that :)
