Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in an elevated Windows Terminal window using the reported Command Prompt and PowerShell tabs, then inspect the tab-drag and reordering entry points. Done means dragging the PowerShell tab left of the Command Prompt tab no longer closes the window and the tabs are reordered correctly.
