> I was looking at the settings for mintty and saw the new option (new as of 3.6.4 from March) for a status line. I decided to try it out. Sure enough, a status line appeared at the bottom. All was well until I tried to open a new mintty window and nothing seemed to happen. After a little research, I saw a stackdump was being generated. I had to get to the .minttyrc file and remove the StatusLine=yes to get it to work again. I tried the same scenario on another Windows 10 machine as well as a Windows 11 machine with the same results.

On the options dialog, choose terminal and check the option to turn on the status line. Then click save. The current window shows a status line but attempts to start a new window will fail and generate a stackdump.
This issue occurs if the monitor DPI is 96 (or 100% display scaling).
It was fixed in the repository already. Still working on some other 
issues before a release though.
