Description
Environment
Caused by Accessibility PR: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/commit/96496d8154113ae9e0bcbe47b4bbaf33a0d4e961
Steps to reproduce
- open ConHost
- open inspect.exe
- find caption buttons
Expected behavior
bounding rects should appear over caption buttons
Actual behavior
bounding rects aren't there. But it seems like you can interact with them perfectly fine otherwise.
Other notes
I think the main culprit here is WindowUiaProvider. Not entirely sure what caused it though.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening ConHost and inspect.exe, then locating the caption buttons. Compare the Accessibility PR with WindowUiaProvider to identify why bounding rectangles disappeared; done means inspect.exe shows bounding rectangles while the caption buttons remain usable.
