Environment

Windows build number: 
Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
10     0      18362  145

Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3451.0

Any other software? Ubuntu 18-04 ///  4.4.0-18362-Microsoft #476-Microsoft Fri Nov 01 16:53:00 PST 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps to reproduce

Load up Ubuntu in Terminal (Preview). Resize the window to be small (slimmer than the width of the path) and then drag it out to be wider - the text will follow and duplicate itself endlessly. Resize really fast to a large size and it will correct itself sometimes.

Expected behavior
