Originally created by @stephenmartindale on GitHub (Nov 3, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.12.2931.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows Terminal with a starting-directory and command-line set, for example:

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe new-tab --commandline %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c "path/to/python-environment.bat && python.exe path/to/interactive/program.py"

  2. Press the keyboard shortcut to duplicate the current tab: ctrl+shift+d

    • Alternatively, split the pane.

  3. Observe that the duplicated tab does not invoke the command-line given in --commandline

    • Starting directory (-d) is also not applied.

Expected Behavior

I expect that the duplicate tab (or pane) should be a true duplicate. I.e. it should be created with precisely the initialization parameters of the original tab (or pane), including at least the following most important ones:

  • Profile
  • Starting Directory
  • Command Line

Actual Behavior

  • The duplicated tab does not invoke the command-line given in --commandline
  • Starting directory (-d) is also not applied.
