Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.8.10261.0


Any other software? n/a

Steps to reproduce

I'm experiencing https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2883 with the exact same behavior and workaround. That issue was fixed and closed, so I figured this is a regression in this newer build of Windows Terminal - so I'm filing it again.

Expected behavior

I would expect selecting a colorscheme to overwrite the values in the profile part, not the other way around.

Actual behavior

The profile value for background overwrites the value from the color scheme. Doing as little customization as selecting a color scheme by name from the defaults results in partially applied colors (with the background staying the default).
