  4. Open Settings

  5. Save Settings

  6. The open tab background will show the background specified in settings

The kind of shell doesn't seem to affect this. I've tried Powershell 7.1.3, Ubuntu 20.04, git bash using MINGW64.

Expected Behavior

Opening a new Windows Terminal tab shows the background image specified in the profile.

Actual Behavior

Opening a new Windows Terminal tab does not show the background image specified in the profile.
