Steps to reproduce

A newly opened window has a chance of becoming completely blank. Once this happens, all subsequently created windows will also be blank, until all Windows Terminal windows are closed and a new one is opened again.

Windows Terminal Config JSON as follows:

Just chiming in to say I'm having the exact same issue as of yesterday.

Completely killing and restarting Terminal fixes the issue.

EDIT: seems related to #19346 and it seems to be fixed in 1.25+ (current Canary version).

I am running into the same behavior (or at least same empty windows).

I have a Task Scheduler task that runs at Windows startup

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -File "C:\bedrock servers.ps1"

bedrock servers.ps1:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe --window _bedrockserver C:\bedrock-server\bedrock_server.exe
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe --window _bedrockserver C:\bedrock-server-cousins1\bedrock_server.exe

Result:

We released a servicing update last week that should fix this. Thanks for the reports and help chasing down the root cause!
