Steps to reproduce

This type of crash happens randomly and is not reproducible for me. I've had a similar type of crash happen several times, about once every couple of weeks. When I enter a command, the terminal crashes with a popup saying that "windowsterminal.exe has stopped working".

I hit "debug" on the popup and opened up the exception in Visual Studio. Below is the stack trace.

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFAB4B97671 (Microsoft.Terminal.Control.dll) in WindowsTerminal.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00007FFBFBF70ED3.
