Dustin L. Howett has announced the release of Windows Terminal Preview 1.13.1098 for testing.



Release Windows Terminal Preview v1.13.1098

This is an update to fix a number of issues identified in 1.13.1073x.

Why are there so many packages? How do I choose?

Bug Fixes

Appearance

  • Our Maximize/Restore button is now a fine round boi ( #12660)

Accessibility

  • The profile list in the Settings UI now offers tooltips for long profile names ( #12448)
  • We'll automatically focus the window renamer textbox when it opens ( #12798)
  • High contrast will no longer result in a ridiculous and bad titlebar color ( #12839)
  • When you delete a color scheme, we'll move focus back to the color scheme list ( #12841)
  • Two instances of huge debug log spam with a screen reader connected have been stamped out ( #12698) ( #12723)

Usability

  • We've added some text to the color schemes page indicating that it is for editing--not setting--color schemes ( #12663)
    • We're working to refine how color schemes are set and edited, so stay tuned for future improvements!
  • The retro terminal effect (as well as other shaders) will now work on pre-D3D11 hardware! ( #12677)
  • Terminal will once again render properly when you move between different-DPI displays ( #12713) ( #12749)
  • Resizing the window while a background color or underline is displayed will no longer smear it across the whole screen ( #12637) plus a fix for a huge crash that PR introduced ( #12853)
  • It took us three releases to get it right, but we've finally solved the issue where we'd punch a hole straight through the Terminal when a dialog appeared ( #12840)

Reliability

  • There was an issue on Windows 11 where Terminal would queue up billions of animations while the screen was off; it will now no longer do so ( #12820)
  • We've fixed crashes in ProposeCommandline ( #12838), Monarch::_GetPID ( #12856) and other parts of WT's RPC infrastructure ( #12825)
  • On Windows 10, the settings UI will no longer sometimes crash on close (we've updated to a new build of WinUI 2 for the fix!) ( #12847)

Miscellaneous

  • Windows will no longer reject certain Terminal updates/reinstalls due to "differing package content" ( #12779)
  • Fragments can once again override the names of generated profiles ( #12627)
  • An issue from the 1073 series, where you could not upgrade the bundle using DISM, has been resolved ( #12819)
    • As a result, our bundle version is now over three thousand!
  • @dmezh contributed some wording changes to the text about transparency/opacity ( #12592) ( #12727) (thanks!)
  • Some trailing commas that broke the JSON Schema document are no longer trailing, or present at all ( #12644) (thanks  @sowmya-hub!)
