2. Kill all process of keyboxd.exe.

Expected behaviour

The tab should close immediately.

Actual behaviour

The tab doesn't close and there's only a cursor. It's weird.

I troubleshooted this issue and found that process keyboxd.exe started by bundled gpg held a reference to the console so the tab didn't close. I attached process of keyboxd.exe with gdb of MSYS2, executed print (void)FreeConsole() and then the tab closed immediately.

@bthiae2934 is this also happening with a regular MSYS2?
