Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.11.3471.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19044.0
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
Edge's tab well has padding to move the window:

But Windows Terminal doesn't have that padding that allows me to move the window:

The only part allowing moving the window is here:

This becomes annoying when the Windows Terminal window is moved beyond the right edge of the screen and that part is squeezed beyond the edge. Now you can't move the window:

### Expected Behavior
Windows Terminal's tab well should have an area allowing moving the window.
### Actual Behavior
Windows Terminal's tab well doesn't have an area allowing moving the window.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Windows Terminal 1.11.3471.0 on Windows 10.0.19044.0, particularly after moving the window beyond the right edge of the screen. Trace the tab-well window-drag behavior from the desktop UI entry point; done means the tab well retains an area that can move the window when the existing drag area is squeezed away.
