Steps to reproduce

Terminal preview by default adds an option in context menu - "Open in terminal preview" that opens it in a specified folder
When doing so recently it started opening a second instance of terminal, one in specified folder and one in current user folder
It happens ONLY if there are no terminal instanced opened
