Environment

Windows Build Number: 10.0.18362.0
WIndows Terminal version: 0.6.2951.0

3 Monitor Setup
- Main Screen High-DPI (Scaling 150%, 3840x2160)
- Left and right: Scaling 100%, 1920x1200

Steps to reproduce

  • Start Terminal
  • Terminal window opens on Main Screen (High DPI, Scaling 150%)
  • Move Window on secondary screen (Scaling 100%)

Expected behavior

  • (Window scales down correctly)
  • Window should stay on second monitor

Actual behavior

  • (Window scales down correctly)
  • Terminal window disappears after around 1 second without message
  • (Process is terminated according to Task Manager/Process Explorer)

Additional information

If I set both screens to the same scaling (either 100% or 150%) the error does not occur.

If I set the secondary screen to 150% and the main screen to 100%, I can move the Window from the (low-scale) main screen to the (150% scaled) secondary screen without problem. When I move the window back to the 100%-Screen, it disappears again.
