I suspect I'm seeing the crash mentioned in PR #3027. While I can't recall the specific build number for Terminal that I first installed on this particular machine, it was one of the 0.5 releases. all versions I've tried from that first one to the version listed above by get-appxpackage have failed this same way (though I can't faithfully recall if it's been the same Event Viewer entry as reported below). I have used Feedback hub twice, I believe with different versions.

Steps to reproduce

Click Windows Terminal (Preview) in Start menu

Expected behavior

Application launches

Actual behavior

Empty Window frame is drawn, then closes. This is in Event Viewer under Windows Logs > Application

Thanks for the report! The crash from #3027 was in TerminalControl.dll, not Windows.UI.Xaml.dll.

Would you mind sharing feedback, and your profiles.json (from %LOCALAPPDATA%\packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\profiles.json)?

ere's the two I filed in Feedback Hub

GitHub won't let me attach a json file, so here it is zipped. It should be the default one.

profiles.zip

I've tried using the App Settings > Repair/Reset and also deleting the whole %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_* directory, with no effect.

This looks like a /dupe of #2277 (even though this doesn't involve resizing.)
