Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):  0.11.1121.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a new tab with non-default profile.
  2. Invoke newTab command.
  3. New tab with default profile is opened.

Expected behavior

I believe in the past, in step 3), the new tab would use the profile of the currently opened tab, not the default profile. I prefer that behavior.

Actual behavior

The new tab uses the default profile.

This was never the case. You can duplicate the current tab with Ctrl+shift+d or whatever you bind the duplicateTab action to.
