Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows Version 10.0.18362.476
Windows Terminal version: microsoft-windows-terminal 0.7.3291.0

Steps to reproduce

Open Windows Terminal
Toggle fullscreen (F11)
Use "show desktop" (win + d)
Use "show desktop" again

Expected behavior

All windows should hide and the desktop should be shown (First trigger of "show desktop"). On second tirgger all windows should be shown again, and the terminal window should be visible on top again.

Actual behavior

On the second trigger of "show desktop", another window gets shown on top. Also sometimes the taskbar disappears, and you can see parts of the terminal peeking through.

PS: When using win+d with a AutoHotkey remapping, this gets even more buggy. (I can provide details if necessary)
