Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.476]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3291.0 (but also the previous one)

Steps to reproduce

Opening the terminal (regardless of how this is done) and trying to use the system while the Terminal is focused (or moving the mouse around).

Expected behavior

Expected behavior is for the Terminal to not affect the system and work just like any other window

Actual behavior

Once the Terminal is focused, moving the mouse around is very laggy (even if the mouse is on another screen). This keeps happening until any other window is getting focused.

The system is laggy overall while the terminal is focused. But typing is not.

Worth to mention: I tried installing the Terminal both via the Windows Store as well as scoop. I tried using it with the default (empty) config file, I tried personalizing it. The behavior was always the same, from the moment I installed the first time the Terminal (starting with v 0.6xx and continuing into the new 0.7xxx)
