Originally created by @dracan on GitHub (Aug 5, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.15.2002.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Not sure - it just happens randomly.

Expected Behavior

To be able to bring WT to the foreground and interact with it.

Actual Behavior

Sometimes WT window just disappears, but I can still see it in the taskbar...

image

Nothing happens if I click on it.

Sometimes I get a system tray icon that will allow me to get focus back (with right-click->focus) - but sometimes it's not there either.

Might be unrelated, but I've been using quake mode a lot recently. It's not the quake window I'm having trouble with - but it might be that it happens to the main window sometimes if I use the quake window.

Did you minimize it by clicking on the taskbar/? Good chance this is #13589

Ah yes! That seems to be what's doing it! And your workaround here successfully gets me out of it too :) Now at least I don't have to kill the process 😆
