Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Steps to reproduce

  • Start Windows Terminal
  • Drag window to other screen (which happens to run at a different DPI/scaling setting)
  • Terminal exits :-/

My first screen (on which Terminal initially opened) is set 150% scaling, the second one (on which Terminal dies) is at 100%.

Expected behavior

Terminal should continue working on other screen.

Actual behavior

After releasing the drag&drop operation the window briefly (~1s) seems to be usable, but then it just closes.

This sounds awfully similar to #3303 - I'm just going to mark this as a dupe. Thanks!
