I tried adding MinWidth="385" to TabRowControl.xaml, but I didn't notice a difference.

A minimum height was originally added to allow the About menu to be seen. This minimum height was removed from the referenced PR because we don't foresee a circumstance where your Terminal is in that state, and you can't just resize it to make the content fit properly.

@Alexandria-R
The issue is resolved for 'Tab', where user is able to view Tab name when reflow is performed.

Fixed Bug 5418

But, in 'About' dialog links are not visible. As per the above comments from Product team, can I close the bug?

Please find the attachment for reference.

I don't believe this can be closed, as the loss of links seems quite relevant.

It is an explicit user choice to make the window so small that its contents cannot be displayed, and it has a very easy workaround: make the window bigger. Terminal's default configuration does not automatically make the window unreadably small.

When I run a web browser and make the window so small that there is no content area, then I open the "settings" page, I see the same behavior:
