Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.24.11911.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19045.0
### Other Software
N/A
### Steps to reproduce
Dragging any terminal tab, including from a non-elevated terminal process.
### Expected Behavior
Windows Terminal never crashes or kills all my processes in a non-recoverable failure.
### Actual Behavior
This is an occurrence of #18719, which was incorrectly closed without resolution. It's a long-standing, high-impact but that has been neglected and needs to be resolved before windows terminal can be considered stable.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash while dragging any terminal tab, including from a non-elevated process, and review issue #18719 for prior investigation. Done means dragging tabs no longer crashes Windows Terminal or kills its child processes in a non-recoverable failure.
