Terminal: Windows Terminal blocks user input after a tab is removed

[AVDAX]

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.815
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1121.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

• Start Windows Terminal
• Open a new Windows PowerShell tab
• Now drag the tab to a location without releasing the tab
• Now close the tab with this key combination Ctrl + Shift + W
• Now try to make an input in the command line on the first tab, or try a key combination.

Expected behavior

• Windows PowerShell should allow input.
• Windows Terminal should allow keyboard input after trying to create a new tab with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + T.

Actual behavior

• Windows PowerShell does not allow input.
  

  - Windows Terminal does not allow keyboard input after you try to create a new tab with the key combination Ctrl + Shift + T.

All right, I'd say that's a bug. 😲🤯

Not even Ctrl + Shift + T works

@Qantex Why are you always ### busy??

Hello @Sandra2001,
I am very focused on learning. It sometimes happens that I answer a question later.

If you click inside the terminal, does it start responding again?

Do you see the Windows “this program is not responding” message?

@DHowett

1. No, the application does not react when clicked in the terminal.
2. No, this message "this program is not responding" is not displayed.

[AVDAX]

@DHowett The application reacts first when a new tab is created by clicking the "+" button.
The application also does not react to key combinations as described above.

This might have gotten better with #5799/#5809 - if it didn't, then this will certainly be a similar class of issue.

EDIT: No, it didn't, but I bet this is because of the if (!dragging) check we do when the tab selection changes.

[DHowett-MSFT]

Almost certainly. Thanks for investigating!

@DHowett-MSFT I have added a GIF to better understand the problem.

[DHowett-MSFT]

Thanks.

@DHowett-MSFT You're welcome. :)
