That sounds like a fish feature. We actually don’t remember starting directories across invocations 😄

The problem is it doesn't open in the current directory at all. Is there like a environment variable or something that gets set by windows terminal that i can read with e.g. fish config to cd into? I also need to cygpath that dir because fish runs from cygwin

Fixed, fish had a hidden config that restored last used dir, ignoring $PWD
