Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.657]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433

Any other software?
I have tweaked the settings.json file, if that is relevant I can include it.

Steps to reproduce

Right click on the Windows Terminal icon in the Start Menu and click Run As Administrator.

Click OK on the Admin prompt (also, separate bug but this shows "Unknown program" instead of "Windows Terminal" for the app name.

Open two cmd tabs.

Drag one of the tabs.

Expected behavior

The tabs should rearrange as they do in non-admin windows.

Actual behavior

The window crashes immediately when you try to drag the tab and Windows Error Reporting prompt appears.

I've taken a memory dump but I can't upload it because the file is too big. I can provide this directly if needed.
