Description

Using Terminator in WSL via Xming:

Saving a 12 pane tmux session in tile mode with nothing running in each pane but the shell results in a good save file.

Upon resurrection only 8 of the panes return.

Research direction
Start by examining the save and restore scripts (e.g., scripts/save.sh and scripts/restore.sh) to understand how panes are saved and restored. Look for any logic that might limit the number of panes. Check the single comment on the issue for any additional clues. Reproduce the bug with a 12 pane tmux session and compare the saved state vs restored state to identify where panes are lost.
