Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.18.3181.0
### Windows build number
10.0.22621.0
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
I have two monitors, monitor 1 2560x1440 (125% scale, landscape) and monitor 2 1080x1920 (100% scale, portrait). Last few versions of Terminal the tabs are rendered with square bottom corners on the monitor 1. If I move the Terminal window to the monitor 2 the tabs are immediately rendered with the round bottom corners. The top corners of the tabs are always round.
### Expected Behavior
The visual style of the tabs should be consistent with the look and feel of Windows 11 (like windows explorer tabs) regardless of the chosen display.
### Actual Behavior
The visual style of the tabs is inconsistent when using multiple displays.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the tab-corner change by moving a Windows Terminal window between the two displays described in the issue, then trace the tab rendering and display-scaling entry points. Done means the tab visual style remains consistent across displays while preserving the expected Windows 11 rounded appearance.
