Reproduce steps:
1 Open Windows Terminal
2 Press ctrl-t, so there's two tab, tab bar shows
3 Close one tab by click tab close button, there is one tab and tab bar hides, so it appears as step 1
3' Close one tab by press ctrl-w, there's one tab but tab bar remains.
3'

No idea about which is expected but inconsistency is unexpected.

This is a known issue internally, but thanks for filing the issue!

This is definitely not expected - if a user doesn't have alwaysShowTabs set to true, then the tabs should definitely hide here.
