Description

### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.1165, 1.9.1942.0

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. Make sure you have at least one monitor with a vertical task bar.
2. Open a Quake mode window on the monitor with the vertical task bar.

### Expected Behavior

The Quake mode window should not be partially hidden behind the vertical task bar. It should recognize a vertical task bar is used and resize and reposition accordingly.

### Actual Behavior

One side of the terminal looks cut off by the sidebar and it seeems to be positioned behind the task bar.
