Windows Hello opens in background

[piotrmocko]

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.836
Windows Terminal version: 1.0.1401.0
Ubuntu 20.04 / 18.04 / 16.04 on WSL1
Windows Hello PAM for Linux 1.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and configure Windows Hello PAM for Linux 1.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 / 18.04 / 16.04 https://github.com/nullpo-head/WSL-Hello-sudo
2. In Windows Terminal on Ubuntu run for the first time any sudo command.
3. Windows Hello opens in the background and fingerprint scanner gets activated, but Windows Hello does nothing until you activate the window with Windows Hello.

I'm experiencing this issue since I started using Windows Terminal 0.6, while it works without any issue in ConEmu 191012[64] or any earlier version that I used since 3 years.

Expected behavior

Windows Hello opens in the foreground and recognizes the fingerprint from the scanner.

Actual behavior

Windows Hello opens in the background and fingerprint scanner gets activated, but Windows Hello does nothing until you activate the window with Windows Hello.

I'm gonna guess that this is is actually #2988. That's the issue tracking most of the z-order problems the Terminal sometimes has.
