Steps to reproduce

I created some tabs with split windows (all are ubuntu system within wsl), and when I tried to drag one of them, the entire application froze, and even a restart couldn't recover it. Not reproduced every time.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

The entire application froze, and even a restart couldn't recover it.
When I right-clikc the windows terminal's app icon to open a new window, the new window created, and the died instance also recovered.

The drag-tab freeze is no longer happening for me after updating my settings.json with:

"disableAnimations": true,
"useAtlasEngine": true

Tested with multiple tabs, split panes, and WSL Ubuntu. No freezes now. Bug appears resolved on my setup.

Thanks for confirming! I'm surprised those fixed it, but I won't look too far into this gift horse's mouth.
