This is another servicing release for the Preview channel of Windows Terminal! We fixed that Alt+Tab issue!

Note People in the Beta channel of the Windows Insider program will receive 1.15 as a Stable channel update while we test out coming features for the next version of Windows. It is roughly equivalent to the build included here, but it does not include the experimental text rendering engine.

It contains the following other things as well:

Bug Fixes

Usability

• We've restored the ability for Alt+Tab to restore the Terminal after it was minimized with the taskbar icon (#13624)
• Terminal will no longer replace colored backgrounds with blank spaces on first launch (#13665)
• We will once again display underlines, hyperlinks, and more to the end of the line instead of getting tired and stopping early (#13661)
• Sessions handed off from the Windows Console will no longer stick around with an ominous and annoying "process exited with code ..." message, unless you explicitly configure them to.
  • To accomplish this, we've changed the default value of closeOnExit to a new value, automatic. Automatic close-on-exit determines whether to close based on whether the process exited gracefully and whether the process was spawned by Terminal. (#13560) (#13649)
• Select All and Mark Mode will now trigger scrolling to make sure that one of the selection endpoints is visible. (#13660)
• SendInput with high unicode characters will no longer fail (#13667)
• Text input in Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese should be more reasonably switch between alphanumeric modes (#13678) (#13677)

Reliability

• We've upgraded to XAML 2.7.3 to fix a crash in closing the Settings page (#13761)
• The "Open Terminal Here" context menu item should show up more reliably (and crash less) (reverted PR #13206)
• We've solved--or at least, reduced the incidence of--one source of deadlocks in rendering (#13758)
• We'll try much harder to defibrillate a Terminal session that can't talk to the "primary" Terminal session to improve reliability (#13604)
• We will now listen to signals the OS sends us telling us that it's taking us down for an update. It's not going to help us stop it form happening, but it puts us in a better position to handle it later (#13614)

Performance

• We're preparing to fix an issue with jump list generation that results in a slower-than-expected launch (but we aren't there yet) (#13688)
• There is now only one tab color picker in the world, and all users terminal tabs now have to share it (to improve performance) (#13736
