[freddiehaddad]

Describe the bug

Typing glazewm --help in Windows Terminal results in:

Typing glazewm --help in WezTerm results in a new window opening and immediately closing.

In both cases, no help output is displayed.

Reproduction

Described in bug.

Stack trace or error logs (if applicable)

NA

Version number

3.6.0 (but it's happened with previous versions as well. I first noticed it in 3.5.0). It definitely wasn't introduced in the latest release.

Also have this bug on the latest build (rel 3.6.0) at the time of writing this.
Tried diverting the result of help command to .txt file but result was empty.
glazewm.exe --help > help.txt

Does the window handle error pop up when running glazewm --help or is that unrelated?

It works correctly when using the --help flag on the local debug build:

But I'm also able to reproduce the terminal window opening and closing. It might be due to uiAccess permissions in our release builds.

I'll likely be looking at other issues for quite some time before getting to this one so if anyone wants to investigate, just LMK and I can assign the issue 👍

[OlivierCooke]

Personally I don't have any error pop ups. Simply the the command prompt flashes.
