Windows Terminal version

1.18.1421.0

Windows build number

10.0.22624.0

Other Software

PowerShell 7.3.4
WSL2: 1.2.5.0
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Git for Windows v2.40.1

These are the underlying profiles from which I am attempting to generate the split-pane view.

Steps to reproduce

Easiest Steps:

  1. Open a Windows Terminal Preview tab.
  2. Right-click the tab and select Split Pane from the menu.
  3. Attempt to interact with the terminal or simply wait a few seconds, and it crashes.

Alternative Steps:

  1. Open a Windows Terminal Preview tab.
  2. Use the CTRL-SHIFT-P shortcut to focus the command menu dropdown.
  3. Type Split into the search to populate the relevant commands.
  4. Navigate to the Split Pane option and hit the Enter key.
  5. Attempt to interact with the terminal or simply wait a few seconds, and it crashes.

Expected Behavior

I expected to successfully create multiple panes within the terminal view, and for them to be swappable, movable, and able to be reoriented without affecting the performance of the interface or the shell.

Actual Behavior

I'm not entirely sure my if bug is the same as referenced in #14254 or #14247. But it's extremely similar. However this issue is distinctively broader, because it occurs regardless of which profile is being split and in what orientation. I've attached a short video so you can take a look, and the link to the Feedback Hub submission is down below. 👇
