Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.418]

Steps to reproduce

Open windows terminal and move it with cursor to a new screen in a dual screen setup. Specifically from a 4k to 1080p monitor.

Expected behavior

The windows terminal window should move to the other screen.

Actual behavior

The window when moved to the other screen freezes and then crashes.

Note: It works if the windows terminal window starts and is maximised on the first monitor and then is win+shift+arrowed to the other monitor. No crash but if it is not maximized and either moved by way of win+shift+arrows OR cursor drag then it crashes.
