📄 Description

Curiously, at least on Windows 10 (and rarely on Windows 11), if you minimize the Terminal by clicking on the taskbar, then alt-tab to try and restore the window, the Taskbar will decide to call SwitchToWindow on the invisible, owned ConPTY window instead of the main window. When that happens, ConPTY'll get a WM_SIZE(SIZE_RESTORED, lParam=0). The main window will NOT get a SwitchToWindow called. If ConPTY doesn't actually inform the hosting process about this, then the main HWND might stay hidden.
