No response

Version: 1.21.10351.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. use a vpn
  2. open several tabs in Windows Terminal using powershell
  3. open several ssh sessions from each tab; cat lots of files; build lots of projects; use lots of tools...
  4. continue working for several hours; all is as normal; these terminal sessions will have lots of text
  5. tear a tab off of windows terminal; this creates a new window with my ssh session, and all is well
  6. reattach the torn off tab to the previous window that it came from
  7. crash; all tabs disappear; all work is lost; Windows Terminal o7 bye

Expected Behavior

reattaching a tab should work and not crash

Actual Behavior

it crashed like this twice, which is why i'm spending the time to write this up
