Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.476]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3291.0

Primary monitor is a 21:9 1080p, secondary monitors are a 16:9 1080p and a 4:3 1024p

Steps to reproduce

press alt+enter to enter full screen mode

Expected behavior

The terminal should enter in full screen mode

Actual behavior

On the primary monitor everything works correctly.

On my secondary 16:9 monitor the windows taskbar still visible and there is a black area in the terminal:
169

On my secondary 4:3 monitor the terminal is all black with a gray box and unusable:

In all monitors the terminal exits correctly from full screen mode by pressing again alt+enter.

The problem happens also with the default profiles.json.
