Research direction
Reproduce the behavior using Windows Terminal 1.20.11781.0 on Windows 10.0.19045.3930 with the listed session and new-instance settings. Investigate the handling of previously used windows and terminal startup, and consider the issue complete when a new instance attaches as a tab to the restored window instead of opening another window.
