Originally created by @larsch on GitHub (Dec 2, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.295]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):  0.7.3291.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. With blank profile, change default shell to cmd.exe
  2. Start Terminal
  3. Create new tab (Ctrl+Shift+T)
  4. Type exit, press ENTER

Expected behavior

Tab closes, leaving the original tab open.

Actual behavior

Terminal disappears, closing all tabs.

Additional info

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+W closes the tab without crash.
  • I can't reproduce with PowerShell as default shell
  • I can't reproduce on another PC running Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.476] (I do not know that the triggering difference is).
  • Creating a new profile with "commandline": "cmd.exe /c dir c:\\", or "commandline": "cmd.exe /k exit" also often crashes Terminal.
  • Creating a profile with another executable, e.g. "commandline": "ls c:\\temp" does not appear to crash Terminal. So it seems related to cmd.exe.

I think I have an idea of what's causing this, though the quickest way for me to be sure is if you could file feedback with the Feedback Hub app, so I can get a stack trace and verify.

/feedback

Thanks!

(It was mentioned in triage that this might have something to do with us taking a weak ref to a TermControl and when the control goes away, we don't revoke our event handlers correctly. I don't totally remember, but I don't think that note was added here, so I'm adding what I can)
