Originally created by @elibarzilay on GitHub (Oct 22, 2025).

Windows Terminal version

1.23.12811.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.6899

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Looks like the "windowingBehavior": "useExisting" setting (New instance behavior: ...on this desktop) broke recently. I have a terminal on a second desktop, and starting a new terminal with wt.exe new-tab switches to the second desktop and creates a new tab in that window.

IOW, useExisting behaves the same as useAnyExisting for me.

Expected Behavior

As previously, should create a new terminal when an existing one is on an unselected desktop.

Actual Behavior

Jumps to the other desktop.

Good news! This was fixed with #19458 and is a duplicate of #18652. The fix will be included in the next servicing update.

@DHowett Thanks!!

Also, apologies that I didn't find it (I didn't think to look for closed issues...)

To be totally fair, given our track record, I would not have looked in Closed first either. 😁
