Just to double check here: Is "When terminal starts" set to "Open windows from a previous session" in the settings/? I'm guessing that there's a bug somewhere here with "Launch on machine startup" and restoring windows, but I just want to be totally sure

Actually also, do you have the Terminal set as the default terminal emulator?

You know what, this is sufficiently the same as #16487 so I'm gonna dedupe there. The other info I asked for though (default terminal emulator, session restore setting) would still be helpful info to add to that thread. Thanks!

/dup #16487
