Environment

Windows build number: 
Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19033.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19033.0


Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
0.7.3382.0


Any other software?
Nope.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch terminal
  2. Move terminal window to second monitor/screen
  3. Press with F11 or alt+enter
  4. Gives an unworkable black screen in fullscreen

Expected behavior

Full screen with normal styling and interaction

Actual behavior

Black screen that seems to be non-interactive.
win_terminal_fullscreen

I fullscreen twice on each monitor, using the F11 and alt+enter once on each monitor.

Note

As well, the Terminal window ALWAYS launches from monitor 1, and does not remember it was closed in monitor 2. Since I always run my terminal on monitor 2, this is a slight annoyance.

Same on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.476]: Works as expected on primary screen, is buggy on secondary. Copy of #3710

Thanks for the report and the gif to demonstrate it! Looks to me like this is a /dup of #3710, so I'll direct discussion to that thread. Thanks!
