Environment

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

Display setup:
Left: Surface Book 1, 3000x2000 @ 200%
Right: Ultrawide, 3440x1440 @ 100%

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Terminal, move to right display
  2. Maximize on right display with Win+Up
  3. Set to left half of right display with Win+Left

Expected behavior

The Terminal window should be completely contained within the left half of the right display.

Actual behavior

The Terminal window will have the left-most chrome border and some of the console output on the left screen.

A screenshot of this is tough, but notice that the border is overlapping the adjacent scroll bar that is maximized on the left display here.

Workaround hack

Once the window is consuming half the screen, you can send it to the other displays left half with Win+Shift+Left/+Right. Then, sending it back to the original, right display with Win+Shift+Left/+Right will cause it to fit where expected.

Here is that same section of adjacent windows after the workaround, showing no overlap on the scrollbar.
