git bash on Console - I'm having GUI bugs

I believe this counts as a new question, because of the strange bug I'm having. I saw this post, which doesn't apply to my issue.

I'm trying out Console, mostly just to unclutter my taskbar. I'd like to add the git bash to Console.

I do what the internet says. I go to Console's settings and add a new tab with the following:

Well when I click on a new tab for "Git Bash", Console freezes for a second, and then turns into this mess:

The buggyness after I try to open a git bash tab.

As you can see, this isn't what's expected. There's this tiny, unresizeable window on the top left, which seems to be the regular Console program. And then there's the actual terminal window detached from the tiny Console program window.

In the taskbar, I have the Console icon focused. The icon below corresponds to the detached terminal window.

I can go into more detail about the strange behavior if needed. I don't have my shell exactly set up as mentioned before. I actually have: "C:\programming_path\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

I've tried many different combinations, and nothing seems to work.

EDIT: I tried out ConEmu, and it seems miles ahead of Console. I'm just gonna stick with ConEmu instead. I recommend anyone else to check it out if they're having the same issue as me.

Usually, bash.exe is used, no sh.exe.
See for instance ConEmu issue 1355, with a command like:

set "PATH=%ConEmuDir%\..\Git\usr\bin;%PATH%" & "%ConEmuDir%\..\Git\git-cmd.exe" --no-cd \
--command=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-msys2-64.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i -new_console:p
