Windows Terminal version

1.14.2282.0

Windows build number

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language
Version 10.0.22000 Build 22000

Other Software

I am using WSL2 Ubuntu

Steps to reproduce

Install windows terminal
Open windows default magnifier tool
Write something to terminal, It should follow your cursor. In some cases it is not following.
Mostly happens when changing the focus to another app and re open the termial again with alt+tab combination.

Expected Behavior

In earlier versions, there was a issue like this. Sometime focus were working sometimes not. But last preview build it is not working correctly. Alltough working fine when you use with default Ubuntu Terminal that comes with WSL2 installation.

Actual Behavior

There is no focus when typing. After changing app and re opening terminal works but not works for all the time.
