Description
Type: Performance Issue
- Open integrated terminal
- Bam! It's frozen and shows:
The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: 'crashed', code: '5')
We are sorry for the inconvenience. You can reopen the window to continue where you left off.
If I reopen the window, it restores the open state of the integrated terminal and this happens again.
