Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.19.2682.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19045.3448
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start WT.
2. Look at the tab icon.
3. Open a new tab.
4. Look at the previous tab icon again.
5. Switch between tabs a few more times.

I didn't look into the code, but it could be due to downscaling of inactive tabs by a pixel or so, if the icon gets baked into the tab before this downscaling and not after it:
