Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/5599

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Enforces a minimum width of 460 wide. This allows tabs to always be seen (albeit partially).

NOTE: A minimum height was originally added to allow the About menu to be seen. This minimum height was removed from this PR because we don't foresee a circumstance where your Terminal is in that state, and you can't just resize it to make the content fit properly.
