Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10 1903
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

Steps to reproduce

you can only drag the window when clicking on the window title that is actually colored in Windows 10 color style ([1]marked green)
click on the window title ([1]marked red) you cannot move the window

![windows terminal drag window]

Expected behavior

I expect that left mouse click and hold on the complete window title should allow dragging of the Windows Terminal window.

Actual behavior

The left space this is reserved ([1]marked red) for new tabs or existing tabs (black) cannot be used to move the window

The window can actually be dragged if you click in the empty space on the right of the title bar by the minimize, full screen, and close buttons

I agree. it is a dupe of #564. due to the term "tab-bar" which I understand as windows title I haven't noticed this.
