Description
### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)
1.11.2421.0
### Other Software
Windows 10 20H2 build 19042.1165
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start Windows Terminal while using wider monitor on laptop dock and open quake window
2. Unplug laptop from dock
2. Show the quake window (may not be necessary)
3. Hide the quake window (may not be necessary)
4. Plug back into dock
5. Show the quake window
### Expected Behavior
When I plug back into my external monitor I'd expect the width of the quake window to fit the width of the monitor, or at the very least, to be able to resize the quake window horizontally to make this be the case.
### Actual Behavior
The quake window stays sized to the narrower monitor, even after switching back to a wider monitor (see screenshot below).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the dock/undock sequence around the quake window and trace its existing resize behavior. Done means the quake window fits the wider monitor after reconnecting and can be resized horizontally.
