Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0

Any other software?
ZoomText 2020

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch ZoomText 2020 (typically at system startup)
  2. Launch Windows Terminal
  3. Observe:
  • Clicking on the '+' for a new tab does not work
  • Clicking the dropdown for the options menu does not work
  • Clicking and dragging to select text does not work
  1. Press [CapsLock]+[Control]+[Enter] to suspend the Zoom functionality of ZoomText
  2. Observe that all features work as expected
  3. Re-enable ZoomText's Zoom functionality
  4. Observe that features as described in step 3 no longer work

Expected behavior

Windows Terminal's functions should all work correctly when using assistive software such as ZoomText.

Actual behavior

Windows Terminal's functions do not work correctly - none of the buttons on the 'titlebar' work (including system buttons such as maximise, minimise or close), the new tab button does not work, the menu drop-down does not work, clicking and dragging to select text does not work.
