Windows Terminal version

1.21.3231.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.4541

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Windows Terminal may crash after closing one of its windows by clicking on the thumbnail preview in the taskbar. If multiple WT windows are open, they will close together. This issue happens randomly and does not crash every time, so it is difficult to reproduce.
My feedback with dump: https://aka.ms/AAtrunn

Expected Behavior

Close the window I selected

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal crashes and all terminal windows are lost.

Theres like a 1 in 20 chance all my terminal windows will crash and close when closing any given window by clicking the X at the top right.
