Steps to reproduce

  1. In Windows Terminal open the Settings page.
  2. Set the Theme to Light.
  3. Go to any profile and change the color scheme to something obviously different from the default, e.g. One Half Light.
  4. Go to the default profile and also change that color scheme to One Half Light.
  5. Go back to the profile from step 3 and reset the color scheme to the inherited value.
  6. Go to the default profile and reset the color scheme there too.
  7. Save the settings.
  8. Go back to the profile from step 3 and view the appearance.

Expected Behavior

Everything should now have been reset to the default color scheme, i.e. Campbell.

Actual Behavior

The color scheme is listed as being Campbell, but what is displayed in the preview window is still One Half Light, and that's also what gets used if you try and start that profile.
