Can you give us anything else to work with/? Is there any sort of consistency in the repro? Does it happen with other shells? Did you happen to get updated by the Store recently? (The Store is known to force-kill the Terminal when it's in the background, even if it's running).

As is, this doesn't really seem actionable...

I fixed it by restarting my computer, I think the Store force-kills the terminal in the background.
