Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):  0.11.1333.0

Issue

The terminal's tab element is allowed to have focus, thus taking focus away from the shell. I'm not sure if this serves any purpose, but I somehow trigger this state often. Ideally, the tab element just should not be allowed to take focus away from the shell.

Reproduce

Click on the active tab. Now, you cannot type into the shell, until you click the element containing the shell.

Thank you!
