Description

### Windows Terminal version

1.24.10921.0

### Windows build number

10.0.26200.0

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. Activate Microsoft Pinyin IME.
2. Click on a tab title to start editing it.
3. Type some Pinyin letters (for example, “nihao”) so that the IME candidate window appears.
4. While the candidate window is still open, press **Enter**.

### Expected Behavior

Pressing Enter should only commit the raw typed letters. The edit box should remain open so that the user can continue editing.

### Actual Behavior

The raw typed letters are committed, and the tab title edit box closes immediately.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Windows Terminal 1.24.10921.0 on Windows 10.0.26200.0 using Microsoft Pinyin, then trace the tab-title edit handling for Enter while the IME candidate window is open. Done means the raw letters are committed while the edit box remains open for continued editing.
