Windows Terminal version

1.21.3231.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.2894

Other Software

WSL: 2.3.26.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Windows Terminal
  2. Close the window on the top-right X button.
  3. Re-open Windows Terminal

Sometimes the color scheme selected is incorrect.

Expected Behavior

The selected color scheme to be correct.

Actual Behavior

I have the following settings.json:

            },
            {
                "guid": "{b453ae62-4e3d-5e58-b989-0a998ec441b8}",
                "hidden": false,

                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Azure"

            {
                "colorScheme": "One Half Dark",
                "guid": "{51855cb2-8cce-5362-8f54-464b92b32386}",
                "hidden": false,
                "source": "CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu_79rhkp1fndgsc"
            }
        ]
    },
    "schemes": [],
    "themes": []
}

First time I start Windows Terminal I see this:

If I press the circled X on the tab, then reopen Windows Terminal, it uses the same One Half Dark.

If I press the X on the top-right and reopen Windows Terminal, it looks like this instead:

Image

Notice how it is not using One Half Dark anymore.

Since my default profile is set to {51855cb2-8cce-5362-8f54-464b92b32386} it should in both cases use One Half Dark, even if I have "firstWindowPreference": "persistedWindowLayout" set.
