Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.239
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.3
Relatively clean OS, Ubuntu and WSL installed.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Terminal app
  2. Close the Terminal app

Only happens when the terminal is closed and PS is the active tab. Does not happen if Ubuntu or command line is the active tab or if I close a PS tab but Terminal app stays open.

Expected behavior

I expect it to close with no errors

Actual behavior

An error pops out telling me that "PowerShell has stopped working" as in the screenshot.
"Standard" PowerShell works just fine.
