The Settings format has been changed, and there is no longer a specific "globals" section.

@mdtauk thanks a lot! I moved settings from globals section to root and it works as expected.

Oh, I read that in CHANGELOG... (´・ω・`)

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v0.11.1121.0

BREAKING CHANGE We've deleted a lot of legacy settings handling (#5190)
Please see our blog post and our most recent status update for more information.
If you had settings hanging out in the globals dictionary, you'll want to move them out.
Failure to do so will cause us to ignore your default profile, launch mode, etc., etc.
