Additionally, the update addresses threading issues that previously caused error dialogs and hanging problems, ensuring a more stable user experience.

Windows Terminal Preview 1.24.10212.0 released

Microsoft has released a pre-release version of its Windows Terminal app, build 1.24.10212, and it brings some welcome improvements and bug fixes.

An intriguing change is the removal of the TerminalAzBridge executable from the package. This file, which was no longer necessary, got deleted to declutter things.

Windows Terminal users might notice a few visual tweaks they'll probably dig. For instance, caption buttons now dim down when your terminal window's out of focus, which is something that makes navigation feel just a little smoother. A fix for this long-standing feature addresses the problem completely.

If you've ever dealt with input method issues while using Chinese or Japanese IME systems in Terminal before, version 1.24 is here to help. Users in those regions can now easily resume their regular activities due to the fixed problems. There's also better handling of cross-thread UI operations, a change that helps guard against errors.

This update should clear up two annoying hiccups some Terminal folks have been complaining about: one was an error dialog popping up when loading settings due to threading problems, and the other involved hanging issues from enabling the large paste warning. It's apparently fixed now.

Related to this, Windows Terminal itself will do a better job exiting if you close your last window first, but then it fails for some reason. This is meant to prevent any leftover processes or weird behavior that might cause annoyance down the road.

And there's a potential fix aimed at stopping a XAML focus crash, which is basically an update with major stability benefits ahead of its time. Acrylic will no longer tamper with the background colors of the theme tab row, ensuring proper functionality for custom themes.
