Cannot move tabs when Terminal is running as Administrator

[mfogliatto]

Windows Terminal version

1.11.3471.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.318

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Terminal as Administrator
2. Open a new tab so that the number of tabs opened is more than 1 (one)
3. Attempt to move tabs around the tab area

Doing the aforementioned steps in a regular Terminal (i.e. non administator) works as expected.

Expected Behavior

Tabs should be moving around the tab area as desired (as shown in "Terminal - Non Admin.gif")

Actual Behavior

Tabs just don't move (as shown in "Terminal - Admin.gif")

The tab can be moved only using hotkeys (if configured) or from the "Command Palette"
Ctrl+Shift+P and moveTab forward/backward

This is by design. Please make sure to search for duplicates when filing new issues. This is something that we can't support right now due to some platform limitations. Turns out, even if we tried to support reordering tabs while elevated, the application would actually just crash 😨. See #4874, #5564 and others for more details.
