Windows Terminal version

56d451ded7

Windows build number

10.0.22621.1555

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Checkout the main branch at 56d451ded7
  2. Make your settings file invalid
  3. Start Terminal

Expected Behavior

The settings error dialog should be displayed.

Actual Behavior

The settings error dialog displays for a fraction of a second and then disappears. See video below - you can just see a glimpse of the dialog. This also happens if you've got warnings (which is how I found it originally). This didn't happen whilst I was developing #15082 (which was merged with main at 0105807be2) - as I tested the duplicate environment variables warning numerous times, so I'd guess this is caused by #15078.
