  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

18.0.18362.53

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
  1. start terminal
  2. hit ctrl+t to bring up tabs
  3. click in the space between second tab and "+" and attempt to drag window
  4. window won't drag, but now input is blocked
  5. right click in window area
  6. input is now unblocked.

This is unlikely to occur when the tabs are NOT inlined with the title bar. It is very likely to happen when tabs ARE inlined, as the free space seems like empty title bar area.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

Either allow window dragging from tabs bar (when inlined), or don't allow window dragging but don't lock up input. Maybe a prompt or tooltip text might help guide the user if dragging is disabled from this area.
