Acrylic effect vanishes completely when the terminal looses focus.

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Preview 0.2.1715.0

Any other software? Nope

Steps to reproduce

  • Open terminal with Acrylic background set to true.
  • Snap it to one of the sides and open some other app beside it,
  • The acrylic effect will vanish as soon as you start working on the other app.
  • Clicking on the terminal will bring back the effect again.

Expected behavior

I hope this is not intentional and the effect should not toggle whenever we switch to other apps.
