Description
Environment
Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.5.3242.0, 1.4.3141.0
Any other software?
No
Steps to reproduce
Adding "disableAnimations": true, to my profile does not disable command palette animations or the animation that plays when opening the dropdown menu to open a new terminal.
I have found that globally disabling animations in windows will disable these animations.
Expected behavior
Those animations stop playing.
Actual behavior
The animations continue playing.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Windows Terminal by setting "disableAnimations": true in a profile, then check the command palette and new-terminal dropdown animations against Windows-wide animation settings. Done means both animations stop when the profile setting is enabled, while the existing behavior remains unchanged when it is disabled.
