Originally assigned to: @zadjii-msft on GitHub.

Updated to the latest preview release today (v0.10.761.0)

Immediately noticed that any attempts to resize the window either via mouse drag or keyboard shortcut causes the Terminal app to become unresponsive and crash.

Same behavior for both normal and admin/elevated launches of Terminal app.

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19582.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.10.761.0

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

Either:

  • Use mouse to resize the Terminal app window
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to maximize or split screen the window (via Win+Up/Right/Left)

Expected behavior

Normal resizing which broke for me since latest build (v0.9 was resizing fine)

Actual behavior

Application becomes unresponsive and crashes

Hey for the folks seeing this - could any of you share your profiles.json? I think I've got a theory on what's causing this, but I want to make sure.

It might also just be helpful if one of you were able to file feedback and share the link here: /feedback
