Windows Terminal version

Windows build number

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Windows Terminal
  2. Summon the quake mode terminal
  3. (some of the above some of the time) sleep | hibernate | change monitors | disconnect external GPU

Unfortunately, 3 is not terribly reproducible. It seems to happen "some of the time", and I'm not sure exactly which of the above is the most relevant. I'll update this issue if I can narrow it down after seeing it a few more times in more controlled circumstances.

Expected Behavior

If I hide or exit the quake mode I expect it to completely disappear.

Actual Behavior

A "ghost" window frame is left behind that I can't get rid of The screenshot below shows it (see the very top, where there's a blackish bar with the standard window frame buttons in the upper-right).

I can re-summon the quake terminal without issue, but the ghostly frame doesn't go away even if I do that. Closing the terminal process or re-starting explorer doesn't help either. I can't interact with the buttons in any way either - they cover up things "behind" them, but the clicks seem to pass right through.
