Description

Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd]
 10.0.18362.418
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
 0.5.2762.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  1. change "initialRows": 44 in Settings
  2. change "defaultProfile": "{c6eaf9f4-32a7-5fdc-b5cf-066e8a4b1e40}" # ubuntu-18.04
  3. Start -> Windows Terminal (Preview)

Expected behavior

entire Terminal with default profile on screen in its entirety is expected to be seen on Desktop

Actual behavior

Terminal appears to open with 14 lines off the bottom of the Desktop (behind and below the Taskbar). there does not seem to be "initialXpos" nor "initialYpos" in Settings to manually place Terminal in its entirety on the Desktop.
