Sometimes, tabs delay closing for 2+ seconds #1996

Description

@clounie

Looked around for delay close, tab close etc, couldn't find. Apologies if it's a dup!

Environment

Windows build number: [Version 10.0.18362.239]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):  0.2.1831.0

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Press "+" button to open new tab or two
  3. Fairly quickly after, press Ctrl+W multiple times

Expected behavior

Tabs close instantly upon pressing Ctrl+W

Actual behavior

Sometimes the tab takes awhile (like, multiple seconds) to obey your "close" command via Ctrl+W

When this happens, the human gets frustrated, and presses it multiple times, resulting in Terminal being entirely closed after a few seconds.

This makes for a terrible first user experience. I couldn't reproduce it every time, but it happened the first two times I opened the terminal, which was all it took to give me a bad first impression.
