Windows Terminal v1.24.12741.0

[Dustin L. Howett (DHowett)]

While Terminal 1.25 is slowly rolling out (as we get new reliability info, prove it doesn't super-explode, etc.), we've decided to update 1.24 with a couple quick fixes as well to make sure you're not left out in the cold.

Changes

• Panes can no longer be reduced below 2 cells in either direction, to prevent screen corruption (Prevent panes from shrinking below 2x2 cells #20564) (thanks zhangxaochen!)
• We got rid of the "new tab" animation, as it made the application appear slower (Removing new tab animation #20543)

Bug Fixes

• IME candidate windows will no longer be positioned incorrectly when Terminal is maximized (Report the IME caret rect relative to the client area #20627) (thanks Genki (@9enki)!)
• Terminal will no longer send arrow key inputs (and others) in the middle of an IME composition (Deliver a finished composition before the key that ended it #20471) (thanks sanguneo (@sanguneo)!)
• Media paths referring to icon resources such as foo.exe,-1 will once again work (Fix indexed icon media resource resolution #20572) (thanks arista-ms!)
• The font face selector in the settings UI will no longer cause Terminal to undergo rapid unscheduled disassembly (Fix font face keyboard selection crash #20255) (thanks Danyal Ahmed (@danyalahmed1995)!)
  • ... it will also no longer instantly forget what you put in it (Preserve selected font face after focus changes #20359) (thanks Danyal Ahmed (@danyalahmed1995)!)
• The JSON settings schema has been updated to include persistedLayoutAndContent as a valid option for firstWindowPreference (schema: Add persistedLayoutAndContent and description #20475) (thanks doterik!)
• We now use the most recent Azure Cloud Shell API version, which ensures that you can still access your Cloud Shells (Upgrade Cloud Shell API to 2025-09-01-preview #20620) (thanks Mitchell Bifeld (@mbifeld)!)
• We've fixed some visual artifacts experienced by users of the "QQ Wubi" IME (Fix visual artifacts when using QQ Wubi IME #20542)

Reliability

• XBOX controllers will no longer cause Terminal to shuffle off this mortal coil (Fixes xbox controller crashing the Terminal #20234) (thanks Phil Scott (@phil-scott-78)!)
• We will take fewer trips to a farm upstate when you use "terminal pane" shortcuts on the Settings, Markdown or Snippets UI (Guard and tidy a couple instances of GetActiveTerminalControl #20458)
• The experimental "reposition mouse cursor with click" settings will now result in fewer "bucket-kicking" events (Clamp the cursor position in bounds during "reposition with click" #20442)

VT Support

• An application initiating an OSC 52 clipboard write at the same time as a title change will no longer experience a 5-second hang (Fix 5s lags when using OSC 52 clipboard copy #20728)
