Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/3784

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Replaced a gsl::narrow call to gsl::narrow_cast call. The gsl::narrow call used to throw when the user had custom display scaling due to a bad comparison between floating point values.

References

Possible other startup crashes. I'll update this as they're found.
