Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.815
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1121.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  • Start Windows Terminal
  • Open a new Windows PowerShell tab
  • Now drag the tab to a location without releasing the tab
  • Now close the tab with this key combination Ctrl + Shift + W
  • Now try to make an input in the command line on the first tab, or try a key combination.

Expected behavior

  • Windows PowerShell should allow input.
  • Windows Terminal should allow keyboard input after trying to create a new tab with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + T.

Actual behavior

  • Windows PowerShell does not allow input.
  • Windows Terminal does not allow keyboard input after you try to create a new tab with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + T.
