Windows Terminal version

1.20.11781.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.4780

Other Software

WSL2+ Ubuntu +Tmux

Steps to reproduce

In Windows Terminal, I have new instance attached to most recent window enabled. [Ubuntu+Tmux] has following command line. ubuntu.exe run (tmux a || tmux new -c ~ ) # using wsl.exe make no difference

Expected Behavior

Win+Number should only activate the Windows Terminal Window instead of running the default profile again

Actual Behavior

Everytime I press Win+taskbarPinIndex, it adds a new tmux client to it.

silly me..it is caused by the following appearance configuration. It treats the pined icon as no active/background window in such case.
