Description

Windows Terminal version

1.16.10262.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

This happens infrequently. But always right as I come back to the PC and unlock it. Haven't been able to determine if there is anything specific that triggers it.

Expected Behavior

That the window maintains the previous state

Actual Behavior

The window rapidly and repetedly minimizes and "unminimizes" itself, no matter what other window was in focus

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the window minimization behavior after system resume. Look at TerminalPage handling of visibility events and potential focus stealing logic. Focus on the code that manages window state transitions during power events.
