Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.19.230925002-preview
### Windows build number
10.0.19044.0
### Other Software
This has been happening for several windows terminal versions (at least since >1.14).
### Steps to reproduce
- Open a fullscreen terminal window
- Use a "globalSummon" action to minimize the window
- Try to alt-tab to the window or click on the task bar icon to select the window
### Expected Behavior
The same behavior as using the "globalSummon" action again. This and a "restore" action work correctly to select, unminimize and show the window as fullscreen again.
When the window is not initially fullscreen, there is also no problem alt-tabbing to it (though one difference in this case is the globalSummon hide has a minimize animation).
### Actual Behavior
After minimizing, alt-tabbing or clicking on the taskbar icon does not display the window again (but does seem to select it). Alt-tabbing to a different window then back again will display the terminal window but no longer as fullscreen.
I'd be happy to provide any more details or information that may be useful!

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using Windows Terminal 1.19.230925002-preview on Windows build 10.0.19044.0, following the listed globalSummon, minimize, and Alt+Tab steps. Trace the fullscreen window's selection and restoration behavior through taskbar activation and Alt+Tab; done means the window is shown and restored to fullscreen as it is with globalSummon or restore.
