Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.23.13503.0
### Windows build number
10.0.26200.7462
### Other Software
python 3.11 script
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open a python script that stays open (I'm using Java program and a python runner wrapper)
2. Drag that tab out
3. Randomly will open a new window as if i typed it into the start menu
### Expected Behavior
Tab that is dragged out should still be that tab and not a new Windows with default tabs
### Actual Behavior
Randomly acts like I opened a new window from the start menu and permanently losses the terminal instance

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the drag-out behavior with Windows Terminal 1.23.13503.0, the listed Windows build, and a long-running Python or Java-backed process. Investigate how tab tear-out interacts with startupActions; done means the dragged tab consistently opens in its own window without losing the terminal instance or creating default tabs.
