Type: Bug

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.70.2
  • OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install windows terminal extension
  2. Install Windows Terminal app.
  3. Set in your settings.json:
    "terminal.explorerKind": "external",
    "terminal.external.windowsExec": "wt"
  1. Configure in Windows Terminal to open default terminal "Ubuntu" (WSL).
  2. Go to VS Code and press Ctrl+Shift+C to open external terminal. Output:

What I would expect to happen is to open like this, in the current ${workspaceDirectory}: image

Extension version: 0.7.0 VS Code version: Code 1.70.2 (e4503b3, 2022-08-16T05:35:13.448Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000 Modes: Remote OS version: Linux x64 5.10.102.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
