v0.9 mintty.exe crashes

[valsamis-d]

Hi,

EDIT: This behavior is observed in 'tabbed' version only

After running "wsl-terminal.exe" I get the following in "mintty.exe.stackdump":

Any ideas?

I got a similar thing happening as of today, and also with 0.8.13-tabbed (will post below), below the crash from 0.9.0-tabbed:

@stephand it looks like it was aut-upgraded to 0.9.0 (see the line) in exception:

program=C:\Users\stephand\Downloads\Tools\wsl-terminal-tabbed-0.9.0\wsl-terminal-tabbed\bin\mintty.exe, pid 1391, thread main

[stephand]

From 0.8.13-tabbed below. I used to use 0.8.13-tabbed without any issues, and suddenly as of today it and 0.9 are not working anymore.

@stephand this is really strange... my 0.8.13 still works... Let's wait the expect opinion :)

[mskyaxl]

Hi, I will have a look over the weekend :)

Thank you @mskyaxl !

[stephand]

My 0.8.13 now works again, too, on the same machine. The only difference was that I now have 3x 1920x1080 screens and when it was crashing, I had a 3840x2160 (4k) @ 60Hz panel attached to my laptop. Not that that makes a difference somewhere?

[mskyaxl]

it looks like the tabbed version uses an older version of mintty. I don't know yet what is the actual difference between them.

[mskyaxl]

I had some time to have a deeper look into this and I would rather try to merge the changes from fatty to mintty than maintaining 2 version of the wsl-terminal.

I had a look over mintty features and it looks like the tab support is not that far from becoming a reality.
mintty/mintty#944

[stephand]

I suspect my issue with both new versions not working relate to my Windows build being too old? At least WSLtty ( https://github.com/mintty/wsltty ) suggests that "Since release 3.0.5, WSLtty requires Windows version 1809 (the November 2018 release)." And I am still on 1803 (not my own machine...). Whatever the reason has probably also changed here so it is not supposed to work, I presume.

Since mintty PR is not ready yet I spend some time looking into this and with the help of we managed to find the issue
