Windows Terminal version

1.23.11752.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.4349

Other Software

Using NeoVIM v0.11.1 inside tmux 3.5a - but this shouldn't matter for this bug

Steps to reproduce

This is seen after recent update.

The option is "Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS ->Appearance->Text Formatting -> Intense text style". I tried selecting "None" and "Bright colors" but both of them show bold text. I tried restarting the windows terminal too. Below is the config

            {
                "font": 
                {
                    "face": "UbuntuMono Nerd Font Modified"
                },
                "guid": "{d8e96812-b789-5068-a5ae-10b2fb53e95f}",
                "hidden": false,
                "icon": "\ue756",
                "intenseTextStyle": "none",
                "name": "Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS",
                "opacity": 100,
                "padding": "4, 4, 4, 4",
                "scrollbarState": "hidden",
                "selectionBackground": "#FF0000",
                "source": "CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu24.04LTS_79rhkp1fndgsc"
            },

Expected Behavior

Text should be hightlighted as per 'Intense text style'

Actual Behavior

Text is shown as bold irrespective of "Intense text style"

This is intentional. See the discussion in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/18284 :)
