Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1092.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • setup Windows Terminal to have 3 terminal (example: "startupActions": "split-pane -p "cmd2"; split-pane -p "cmd2"")
  • open Windows Terminal: the cursor is blinking on a random pane (example n1)
    cursor1
  • close WIndows Terminal
  • open Windows Terminal again: the cursor is blinking on a random pane (example n3)
    cursor2

Expected Behavior

I expect to see the cursor always in the same pane: the one I chose as default.

Actual Behavior

Whenever I open Windows Terminal, the cursor blinks in a different pane (looks like it's random); this causes the user to start writing in a random pane and force him to manually switch pane.
