Split Cwd setting is not respected

[ebeloded]

In the last two releases of VSCode, the Split Cwd setting has not been respected. When a terminal is split, the working directory resets to workspace root, instead of being inherited from the parent terminal, even if the setting is

"terminal.integrated.splitCwd": "inherited"

I wasn't aware of this setting, being used to splitting terminal and remaining in the same directory. But at some point it stopped working.

I also confirmed this behavior in the most recent Insiders build, without any extensions installed.

This is also happening to me. With a monorepo in a subfolder, It's annoying when you're running a process and you want to run another command. You used to be able to split the terminal and have it keep the current working directory, but now you have to cd up to it again.

The recent Terminal Tabs update seemed to introduce it.

Why haven't more people seen this issue? I searched for existing tickets but I didn't notice this one, but when I was typing mine up, this one popped up in "similar issues". @ebeloded can you put "Terminal" in the ticket title to try to get more visibility?
