  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    10.0.18890.1000

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    Build & run the new Windows Terminal, then set alwaysShowTabs=true in the profiles.json file.
    Restart Windows Terminal and try to close the last (only) tab

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    the whole app just crashes
    What should happen: the app closes elegantly, or close the current tab and then open a new tab.

It seems that you can't close the last tab with the X button or Ctrl-W, but it crashes when you try to close it with the middle mouse button.

This is a good bug :)

@carlos-zamora I think you did the middle-click close thing

This is also the cause of a crash when closeOnExit is true and you exit the last shell.

I can't get this to repro anymore either. Looks like it must have been resolved at some point recently.

@DHowett-MSFT wasn't there something about XamlApplication needing to get cleaned up correctly? Maybe #1380? Is that being worked on by the XamlApplication folks?

I'm getting this too.
It seems to only happen when you close the last tab and if it's a PowerShell window.
Sometimes it will freeze and never recover, sometimes it will freeze momentarily and then work again.

Hmm. Latest thing I could find that may be relevant is PR #10549, but I'm not sure if that exactly matches.

I deal w/ this all the time. But I figure like MS Teams "it works good enough for them" so that's that.
I still have line breaks when copying lines that are on multiple lines. like, really? copy the presented display instead of what was actually sent to display? broken methodology.
