Windows Terminal version

1.15.2525.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.0 (21H2)

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have anyother program opened up (a web browser in my case).
  2. Launch terminal (any terminal app can be used here since I have tested it with VSCode's built-in terminal too)
  3. Click on the icon of the other app that you opened in step 1 from the taskbar. The program should now be on top.
  4. Click on the terminal program that you opened in step 2 from taskbar. The terminal should now be on top.
  5. Type start cmd and hit enter (make sure windows terminal is set as the default terminal)
  6. When the child terminal instance spawns, close it.

Expected Behavior

After closing the child instance, the parent instance should be the one to stay on top.

Actual Behavior

The parent terminal minimizes when we close the child instance and the program that we opened up in step 1 is now on top.
