Windows Terminal version

1.22.10352.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Press Win+R
Execute wt -d c:\Projects to specify the folder that should be used as the starting directory for the console (according to documentation)
Open a new tab

Expected Behavior

For cases when wt -d used target directory should be inherited properly for new tabs and should be equal as the starting directory specified on console run

Actual Behavior

Currently, the path is C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.22.10352.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe> instead of what you chose as the starting directory
