  2. Press Ctrl + W

Expected behavior

The program just closes

Actual behavior

It crashes

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFF9E97A539 (TerminalApp.dll) in WindowsTerminal.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. occurred

I am really just opening it up and pressing ctrl + w

Closing it via the X works just fine by the way.

Not quite sure if it helps:

Ctrl+W is the command to close current tab, you can see the keybindings in the Setting with filename "profile.json". Since you only have one tab, the program will close once you press Ctrl+W

@cherichy That's right, the program SHOULD close, but instead it crashes.
