Windows Terminal version

1.22.11141.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.4061]

Other Software

NA

Steps to reproduce

Pre-requisite, TLDR: set Launch parameters to Focus and Hide the title bar. I e:

  1. Start windows terminal
  2. Open settings and configure these two settings:
  3. Startup tab, Launch parameters: Set to Focus (Focus, let windows decide) and
  4. Appearance tab, Hide the title bar, toggle to on.

Start and try win-up:

  1. start windows terminal, e g with win-r, wt (press enter)
    Situation: window starts in a free/"undocked" mode - i e not "docked"/aligned to any side of the screen.
  2. Press win-left (or right) to position window aligned with a side.
    Situation: window is now (a) "docked"/aligned to the side of the screen and (b) expanded to use all of the screen height
  3. press windows-up (arrow) once, to make window half height
    Situation: window is now (a) aligned to the side and top of the screen and (b) vertically it is now half the screen height.
  4. press windows-up (arrow) again, a second time - to maximize the window

Please see attached screencapture.

Expected Behavior

window maximizes

Actual Behavior

window remains in place, no change to position, alignment or size.

Workarounds

  • Alt-space, x chord works fine (legacy way of maximizing a window)
  • Full-screen mode works (E g f11)
  • Ensure to not use both settings, only use e g Focus as launch parameter, as it also hides the title bar. So, i e, turn 'Hide the title bar` off, and it works as expected.

Off topic: Thanks for frameless!

I really love how the windows terminal enables me to run frameless windows via focus mode.
Thanks alot for that!!
