Description

Bug description

I have a project where we use as "Task" to start a three panel terminal combination, each running a script that opens a port. When I accidentally reloaded the tab with Gitpod, the project itself came back and the ports are also still in use - but the terminal windows with the running processes are gone - so I can not restart them. I can also not run the task again, as the ports it would require are already in use.

I had to open a completely new GitPod windows.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start process in terminal that opens a port via Task
  2. Reload Gitpod tab
  3. Observe that port is still in use, but terminal running the task is gone
